Apple has posted this letter to the community on the Apple.com web site at:
Third Party Applications on the iPhone
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone,
and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February. We are excited
about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone
and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our
revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced
software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform
ever for developers.
It will take until February to release an SDK because we're trying to do
two diametrically opposed things at once–provide an advanced and open
platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from
viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task. Some claim
that viruses and malware are not a problem on mobile phones — this is
simply not true. There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones
already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the
cell network. As our phones become more powerful, these malicious programs
will become more dangerous. And since the iPhone is the most advanced phone
ever, it will be a highly visible target.
Some companies are already taking action. Nokia, for example, is not
allowing any applications to be loaded onto some of their newest phones
unless they have a digital signature that can be traced back to a known
developer. While this makes such a phone less than "totally open," we
believe it is a step in the right direction. We are working on an advanced
system which will offer developers broad access to natively program the
iPhone's amazing software platform while at the same time protecting users
from malicious programs.
We think a few months of patience now will be rewarded by many years of
great third party applications running on safe and reliable iPhones.
P.S.: The SDK will also allow developers to create applications for iPod
touch. [Oct 17, 2007]

Should designers be able to code? This topic never seems to die, with its endless blog posts, Twitter discussions and conference talks. But the developer's involvement in the design process seems to be addressed very little.
Design is an arrangement of both shapes and space. To work more effectively with space, you must first become aware of it and learn to see it — learn to see the shapes that space forms and how space communicates. This is second part of a series on design principles for beginners. The first part covered an introduction to gestalt; the rest of the series (including this post) will build on those gestalt principles and show how many of the fundamental principles we work with as designers have their origin there.
The Figure-Ground Relationship
The gestalt principle that applies most to space is that of figure-ground. Everything in a design of yours will be seen as one or the other, and the relationship between them is mutually exclusive. Neither can be perceived except in relation to the other, and changing one is impossible without changing the other as well.
The figure-ground relationship is also complementary. Figure and ground can enhance or detract from each other, and organizing the two in relation to each other is one of the more important aspects of design. It sets a context for how your design communicates and how it will be interpreted.
White space is to be regarded as an active element, not a passive background.Jan Tschichold
Consider the three panels in the image above. On the left, we see a series of black lines with an equal amount of white space between them. Together, the black lines and white space form a gray field, each contributing equally to the result. Removing the space (in the second panel) completely changes the field, rendering it as a solid-black shape. Not only is the space gone, but the individual elements have become a single element.
In the third panel, two of the black lines have been removed. This activates the space, making it appear to be sitting on top of the gray field. The ground has become the figure and adds more depth to the design.
Depending on which relationship you set up and how you balance both figure and ground, you direct the audience to look at different parts of the design and interpret what they see in different contexts.
Figure-ground is not the only gestalt principle in which space plays a prominent role. Two others are these:
[list type="unordered"]
Proximity uses space to connect and separate elements by enclosing some elements in space. An example we might take for granted is paragraphs of text on the page. The space between paragraphs is greater than the space between lines of text within a paragraph.
This makes use of space as gaps between elements. Viewers fill in the gaps with their own information to complete a whole from the parts. Too much space and no closure occurs. Too little space and no closure is needed. Only the correct balance between space and filled-in space will activate the space and lead to closure.
Space As A Design Element
Think about music for a moment. If every note or chord were played at the same time, you wouldn't have music. You'd have noise. Music occurs when sounds are contrasted against silence. Varying the pattern of sound and silence creates rhythm and melody. Without the silence, there is no music.
Space performs the same function visually. It gives positive elements room to breathe. It gives the eye freedom to move through a design and to discover the elements it's looking for. The positive is seen only in contrast with the negative. Without space, you don't have design. You have visual noise.
Unless noise is what you're trying to communicate, lean toward space. People are less likely to complain about too much space than about too little.

EVERETT — Gregg Martin was at work detailing a boat Wednesday afternoon when he noticed a tussle in a nearby treetop.
A heron was clashing with another bird in a pine tree at Jetty Landing Park, where the ferry leaves for Jetty Island.
As Martin looked closer, he realized a great horned owl was stuck in the tree. The heron flew off, but the big brown owl, with distinctive "horns" of darker feathers on its head, was trapped. Some kind of cord, maybe heavy duty fishing line or kite string, was wrapped around the owl's right wing and tangled in the narrow, spindly branches of the pine. The owl perched about 30 feet up with his wing stretched out and nearly immobile. The bird struggled but couldn't break free.
It took tree-climbing equipment, a white sheet, an animal carrier, a big black net and a duo of animal rescuers, but about three hours after Martin spotted it, the owl was out of the tree and on its way to a veterinarian at Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington.
Martin had to head back to work and didn't see the rescue play out, but he left hoping for the best.
"Such a pretty bird," said Martin, who owns Gregg's Detailing and often works near Jetty Landing. "I'd hate to see him get wasted."
Kate Bouchard, a recent University of Washington graduate and an intern at Sarvey, arrived at the park with the animal carrier, towels, sheets and the knowledge to handle the bird. Not long after, Shaun Sears, with Canopy Cat Rescue, showed up with equipment and the expertise to get up the tree.
Sears sized up the pine: skinny with a lot of branches in the way. He put on a black helmet and fastened a belt loaded with climbing gear around his waist. He started up the tree and anchored himself with a length of sturdy rope, then continued climbing. Branches rattled and some fell to the ground as he ascended.
Bouchard watched, ready to help contain the owl if it fell. She wanted to take the bird to Sarvey as quickly as possible.
"Our vet is coming today, so (the owl) will get in and go straight back for care," she said.
The owl sat stoically until Sears got close. It spooked as he worked to free it and escaped its higher perch. It landed on a lower branch in a neighboring tree, looking dazed.
Sears quickly lowered himself out of the first tree and grabbed a big black net. He lengthened the net's handle until it could reach the 15 feet or so up to the owl.
The bird startled again when the net was brought near. It landed on the ground and hopped into the parking lot, still tangled in the line. Its right wing stretched out awkwardly. About a dozen people who had gathered to watch the rescue scattered as Sears and Bouchard called out for everyone to get back.
They netted the owl in the parking lot, loosely wrapped it in a sheet and eased it into the gray animal carrier.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. A few people clapped.
Sears told Bouchard he'd like an update on the owl as it heals, and she promised to let her boss at Sarvey know. Then she loaded the owl into her car and he put away his equipment.
Sears and his team handle rescues of cats in trees all over the state. He met the folks from Sarvey at an event and now the center calls for help with some rescues.
"Predominantly, we rescue cats, but we've done parrots, iguanas, kites," Sears said. "Obviously, animals like this (owl) are a priority."
Sarvey has a lot of barn owls at the center but this is the first great horned owl they've brought in since early this summer, when they cared for two owl chicks that recently were released, Bouchard said. She studied wildlife conservation at UW and learned to handle raptors at Sarvey. They see a lot of birds with wing injuries, head trauma or gunshot wounds.
She wasn't able to tell the sex or age of the owl right away, only that it was an adult great horned owl. Parkgoers told her the owl has been seen flying or perched around the park in the past few weeks. Bouchard hopes the bird can be released there once it heals.
Martin, who first spotted the owl, said he would be waiting on news. He wasn't sure if someone would come when he called for a rescue.
"It's nice that someone gave a hoot," he said.

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup apple cider, at room temperature
1/4 cup warm apple cider (about 110 degrees)
3 1/4 cups flour
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoons salt
apple cider frosting
3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup apple cider
canola oil for frying
for the frosting:
Beat all ingredients together until a spreadable icing forms.
For the doughnuts:
In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm cider in the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add the flour, remaining cider, milk, butter, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until you have a soft, elastic dough that comes together easily into a ball.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
Flour a clean work surface. Place the dough on the surface and roll it out. Roll until it is about 1/2 thick. Cut out doughnut shapes. Do not reroll to dough.
Place them on a parchment or silipat lined cookie sheet, cover again with the tea towel and let them rise 15-30 minutes. They should look puffy but don't need to have doubled.
Meanwhile, heat (to 350) about 3 inchs of oil in a heavy pot. Fry the doughnuts (2 or 3 at a time works well) flipping at least once to insure that they are golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
Drain on paper towel lined plates or baking pans. Repeat for remaining doughnuts. Frost cooled doughnuts if desired. Eat the same day they are made.
Yield: about 12 doughnuts
My thoughts:
Cider doughnuts are an Autumn classic found at apple orchards and farmers markets all over the US. Traditionally cider doughnuts are cake doughnuts (doughnuts made with baking powder rather than yeast) but I vastly prefer the texture of yeast raised doughnuts. For that reason I came up with this recipe that has the subtle sweetness of the traditional cider doughnut but instead of being dense and cakey, they are light and fluffy.
Doughnut making is so rewarding, hardly anyone makes doughnuts at home anymore so it seems like an especially special treat. The dough is very easy to work with and it is almost magical how they transform from cut up dough to doughnuts in just a couple of minutes in the pan.
The flavor of these doughnuts is wonderful, the doughnut itself is just barely sweet but full of cider flavor and the sweet icing complements them perfectly. You could also dip them in granulated or confectioners sugar if you want to skip making icing but you'd be missing out.

7 Things You Should NOT Do When Applying For A Home Loan
The following is a sample of this report:
This is a list of things to steer clear of when you are seeking to obtain financing for a home. The following items may prove to be a detriment when you wish to move forward with the loan process.
- Don't buy or lease an auto! Lenders look carefully at your debt-to-income ratio. A large payment such as a car lease or purchase can greatly impact those ratios and prevent you from qualifying for a home loan.
- Don't move assets from one bank account to another! These transfers show up as new deposits and complicate the application process, as you must then disclose and document the source of funds for each new account. The lender can verify each account as it currently exists. You can consolidate your accounts later if you need to...

Here's an important real-world example use-case for strtr where str_replace will not work or will introduce obscure bugs:
$strTemplate = "My name is :name, not :name2.";
$strParams = [
':name' => 'Dave',
'Dave' => ':name2 or :password', // a wrench in the otherwise sensible input
':name2' => 'Steve',
':pass' => '7hf2348', // sensitive data that maybe shouldn't be here
echo strtr($strTemplate, $strParams);
// "My name is Dave, not Steve."
echo str_replace(array_keys($strParams), array_values($strParams), $strTemplate);
// "My name is Steve or 7hf2348word, not Steve or 7hf2348word2."
Any time you're trying to template out a string and don't necessarily know what the replacement keys/values will be (or fully understand the implications of and control their content and order), str_replace will introduce the potential to incorrectly match your keys because it does not expand the longest keys first.
Further, str_replace will replace in previous replacements, introducing potential for unintended nested expansions. Doing so can put the wrong data into the "sub-template" or even give users a chance to provide input that exposes data (if they get to define some of the replacement strings).
Don't support recursive expansion unless you need it and know it will be safe. When you do support it, do so explicitly by repeating strtr calls until no more expansions are occurring or a sane iteration limit is reached, so that the results never implicitly depend on order of your replacement keys. Also make certain that any user input will expanded in an isolated step after any sensitive data is already expanded into the output and no longer available as input.
Note: using some character(s) around your keys to designate them also reduces the possibility of unintended mangling of output, whether maliciously triggered or otherwise. Thus the use of a colon prefix in these examples, which you can easily enforce when accepting replacement input to your templating/translation system.

Bolt Action
A bolt-action firearm operates like opening and closing a door bolt. The bolt solidly locks into the breech, making it accurate and dependable.
- To open the action, lift the handle up and pull it to the rear.
- If the firearm is loaded, the cartridge or shotshell will be ejected as you pull the bolt to the rear. To make sure it's unloaded, open the action, and check both the chamber and the magazine for cartridges or shotshells.
- You can store a bolt-action firearm safely by storing the bolt separately from the firearm.

What can be more conducive to reverie than a good meal, a comfortable seat and a long smooth train journey?
Last Saturday I travelled from Frankfurt am Main to London, changing at Brussels, on the way back from the Frankfurt Book Fair — my 36th. It was a good fair, with plenty of top-level discussions about image licensing and clearances, price agreements and long-term contracts.
It's been a rough old time in the picture library business but we're hanging on in there and I am convinced I can see a silver lining here or there amongst the heavy cloud cover. A week at the Buchmesse always boosts my confidence.
There was a lot to think about on the way home. My mind ranged through meetings, proposals, promises, developments, the way forward, new ideas and so on until I fell into a light doze.
Earlier there had been a slight altercation between a Canadian and a German Muslim over seat allocation, and I fell to pondering on national stereotypes. Meanwhile my reading matter for the journey was the account books of C. F. Martin, luthier, based in Nazareth, Pennsylvania in the nineteenth century, not a page-turning thriller by most standards.*
So when I awoke there were three fresh ideas to make me smile.
Firstly, how about a series of picture books on national stereotypes? And before we all rush around tut-tutting and waving our hands in the air at such racism, it's undeniable that a shared educational experience will produce a population that generally moves in the same direction and accepts the same discomforts. For example, most Americans are keener on owning guns than most Brits. Germans are generally more efficient than Greeks. Italians design prettier cars than the Welsh. And many of these attitudes could be illustrated by photographs — fotoLibra photographs, of course.
I suddenly remembered the pre-war Punch cartoonist Pont, and his series on The British Character. Wonderful, one-frame situation comedies, with captions such as
- Fondness for cricket
- Importance of being athletic
- Absence of enthusiasm for answering letters
- Preference for driving on the crown of the road
- Love of travelling alone
- A tendency to be hearty
- A fondness of anything French
- A tendency to learn the piano when young
You can imagine his drawings. So in my spare time I thought I'd rattle off a few observations on the national characteristics of the English, the Americans, the Spanish, the French, the Germans, the Italians and any other nation where I've had some experience of the inhabitants, each illustrated by a suitable fotoLibra image. If you have any suggestions for captions — and for images — please let me know. I'm looking for an affectionate and gently ironic tone. But I'm happy to offend, if it's funny enough.
Then I contemplated Herr Martin, German immigrant to New York in 1834 and his subsequent move to Nazareth, PA, where the company he founded still makes fabulous and sought-after guitars. I discovered that Nazareth was a suburb of Bethlehem, PA and I thought that would have made Mary and Joseph's life a little easier, having to travel 10 miles instead of 110. But there's a Nasareth and a Bethlehem in Wales, as well — and they're the same distance apart as the original Nazareth in Judea and Bethlehem.
There we are! How about a pilgrimage across three continents? A description of three journeys from Nazareth to Bethlehem — one in Israel / Palestine, one in Wales, one in the USA. It would be a road trip, maybe even one short and two long walks, discovering the sights to be seen and the wonders to be shared in three such different environments, all with a common heritage. TV series? Book? Magazine article? I have yet to decide. But an agreeable concept.
And then Mr Martin and his lovely guitars. I am fortunate enough to own one, a 1972 D-35 Dreadnought acoustic, named for the British battleships of the early twentieth century. When I'm away from it, my fingertips get soft and itchy, and it's not really practical to lug it around. Why couldn't I rent one while I was in Frankfurt so I could have a quick strum before bedtime?
Eleven years ago I spent three weeks in George, South Africa, rocking on my heels. On the second day, fearing I might go stir crazy, I found a music shop and asked the owner if he would consider renting me a guitar for three weeks. He looked at me as if I was black. Then someone renting my house in Wales asked if there was a local shop which could rent him a guitar for two weeks. There isn't.
Why not? Don't be silly, I told myself, there will be a giant corporation which has this sewn up. I just haven't heard of it yet. RENT-AN-AX dot com probably has depots scattered across the world where tired businesspeople can have a Strat delivered to their hotel room when they check in. Blindingly obvious. Ah well.
I got back home, and looked up rentanax.com. No such website. So I registered it. I am now the proud owner of rentanax.com.
Now what do I do? Anyone want to start a guitar rental company?
Me, I've got a picture library to run.

Are you thinking about buying empty land? It can be a compelling investment for some investors. If you're thinking about it, here are 6 reasons we're buying bare land in North Carolina…
When most people think of real estate investing they think of houses… or maybe apartment buildings. But at Asheville Cash Buyers, we like to think about land. It can be a very compelling investment for many investors. Here are…
6 reasons we're buying bare land in North Carolina
#1. Scarcity
No one is making more land! The land we have is all that's available. This means that the supply is always dwindling but demand has never been higher… and declining supply and increasing demand help to drive the value of land investments generally upward.
#2. Affordable
In many cases, raw land can be a very affordable investment, especially when compared against a property that has a house built on it or gets city services. You might even be surprised at how low some properties can be acquired for! (If you want to see our inventory of affordable raw land, click here and enter your information into the form).
#3. Exit Strategies
If you own a house as a real estate investment, you're pretty much stuck with renting it out or flipping it as your only choices. But with land, you have many more exit strategies available that you might not be aware of. Yes, you can rent it out… in many different ways (for recreation, to farmers, etc.) You can develop it (such as subdividing it). You can even just hold it and wait. Or you can consider it a personal investment and enjoy the land yourself. And there are many more options. (And you can always mix and match these strategies, too.)
#4. Growth Opportunities
Raw land is perhaps the most basic real estate investment you can get. But the great thing is: even making simple improvements to the land – perhaps clearing it and mowing it – can help to increase the value of the land quickly. Of course, it really depends on what you plan to use the property for but our point is that you can do many things to grow the value of your land.
#5. Easy
For buy-and-hold investors, raw land is a very easy investment. You buy… and then do nothing! Raw land requires little or no work or upkeep, which means you can own a whole bunch of land and never wear yourself out like you would if owned a whole bunch of houses.
#6. Fun
Look beyond the potential financial return on investment (ROI) and consider the "fun factor" – your own enjoyment of your land can also make it a great investment. With an investment in land, you now have a place to get away from the city, go on picnics with the family, or maybe go camping.
We love raw land as an investment and we've just shared 6 reasons we're buying bare land in North Carolina and think you might consider it too.

Overwrought empire: The discrediting of US military power | |||||||
The US is the sole planetary Top Gun in a way that empire-builders once fantasised about, writes Engelhardt.
Last Modified: 12 Oct 2012 10:50 Aljazeera

When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991 the US became the last standing superpower, after centuries of unceasing great power rivalries on the planet, with a military beyond compare and hardly a "rogue state" on the horizon [EPA]
| |||||||
Americans lived in a "victory culture" for much of the 20th century. You could say that we experienced an almost 75-year stretch of triumphalism - think of it as the real "American Century" - from World War I to the end of the Cold War, with time off for a destructive stalemate in Korea and a defeat in Vietnam too shocking to absorb or shake off. When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, it all seemed so obvious. Fate had clearly dealt Washington a royal flush. It was victory with a capital V. The United States was, after all, the last standing superpower, after centuries of unceasing great power rivalries on the planet. It had a military beyond compare and no enemy, hardly a "rogue state", on the horizon. It was almost unnerving, such clear sailing into a dominant future, but a moment for the ages nonetheless. Within a decade, pundits in Washington were hailing us as "the dominant power in the world, more dominant than any since Rome". And here's the odd thing: in a sense, little has changed since then and yet everything seems different. Think of it as the American imperial paradox: everywhere there are now "threats" against our well-being which seem to demand action and yet nowhere are there commensurate enemies to go with them. Everywhere the US military still reigns supreme by almost any measure you might care to apply; and yet - in case the paradox has escaped you - nowhere can it achieve its goals, however modest. At one level, the American situation should simply take your breath away. Never before in modern history had there been an arms race of only one or a great power confrontation of only one. And at least in military terms, just as theneoconservatives imagined in those early years of the 21st century, the US remains the "sole superpower" or even "hyperpower" of planet Earth. The planet's top gun And yet the more dominant the US military becomes in its ability to destroy and the more its forces are spread across the globe, the more the defeats and semi-defeats pile up, the more the missteps and mistakes grow, the more the strains show, the more the suicides rise, the more the nation's treasure disappears down a black hole - and in response to all of this, the more moves the Pentagon makes.
The US has 1,000 or more bases around the world; other countries, a handful. The US spends as much on its military as the next 14 powers (mostly allies) combined. In fact, it's investing an estimated $1.45 trillion to produce and operate a single future aircraft, the F-35 - more than any country, the US included, now spends on its national defence annually. The US military is singular in other ways, too. It alone has divided the globe - the complete world - into six "commands". With (lest anything be left out) an added command, Stratcom, for the heavens and another, recently established, for the only space not previously occupied, cyberspace, where we're already unofficially "at war". No other country on the planet thinks of itself in faintly comparable military terms. When its high command plans for its future "needs," thanks to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, they repair (don't say "retreat") to a military base south of the capital where they argue out their future and war-game various possible crises while striding across a map of the world larger than a basketball court. What other military would come up with such a method? The president now has at his command not one, but two private armies. The first is the CIA, which in recent yearshas been heavily militarised, is overseen by a former four-star general (who calls the job "living the dream"), and is running its own private assassination campaigns and drone air wars throughout the Greater Middle East. The second is an expanding elite, the Joint Special Operations Command, cocooned inside the US military, members of whom are now deployed to hot spots around the globe. The US Navy, with its 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier task forces, is dominant on the global waves in a way that only the British Navy might once have been; and the US Air Force controls the global skies in much of the world in a totally uncontested fashion. (Despite numerous wars and conflicts, the last American plane possibly downed in aerial combat was in the first Gulf War in 1991.) Across much of the global south, there is no sovereign space Washington's drones can't penetrate to kill those judged by the White House to be threats. In sum, the US is now the sole planetary Top Gun in a way that empire-builders once undoubtedly fantasised about, but that none from Genghis Khan on have ever achieved: alone and essentially uncontested on the planet. In fact, by every measure (except success), the likes of it has never been seen. Blindsided by predictably unintended consequences By all the usual measuring sticks, the US should be supreme in a historically unprecedented way. And yet it couldn't be more obvious that it's not, that despite all the bases, elite forces, private armies, drones, aircraft carriers, wars, conflicts, strikes, interventions, and clandestine operations, despite a labyrinthine intelligence bureaucracy that never seems to stop growing and into which we pour a minimum of $80bn a year, nothing seems to work out in an imperially satisfying way. It couldn't be more obvious that this is not a glorious dream, but some kind of ever-expanding imperial nightmare.
Still, the wars against relatively small, ill-armed sets of insurgents dragged toward their dismally predictable ends. (It says the world that, after almost 11 years of war, the 2,000th US military death in Afghanistan occurred at the hands of an Afghan "ally" in an "insider attack".) In those years, Washington continued to be regularly blindsided by the unintended consequences of its military moves. Surprises - none pleasant - became the order of the day and victories proved vanishingly rare. One thing seems obvious: a superpower military with unparalleled capabilities for one-way destruction no longer has the more basic ability to impose its will anywhere on the planet. Quite the opposite, US military power has been remarkably discredited globally by the most pitiful of forces. From Pakistan to Honduras, just about anywhere it goes in the old colonial or neocolonial world, in those regions known in the contested Cold War era as the Third World, resistance of one unexpected sort or another arises and failure ensues in some often long-drawn-out and spectacular fashion. Given the lack of enemies - a few thousand jihadis, a small set of minority insurgencies, a couple of feeble regional powers - why this is so, what exactly the force is that prevents Washington's success, remains mysterious. Certainly, it's in some way related to the more than half-century of decolonisation movements, rebellions and insurgencies that were a feature of the previous century. It also has something to do with the way economic heft has spread beyond the US, Europe and Japan - with the rise of the "tigers" in Asia, the explosion of the Chinese and Indian economies, the advances of Brazil and Turkey, and the movement of the planet toward some kind of genuine economic multi-polarity. It may also have something to do with the end of the Cold War, which put an end as well to several centuries of imperial or great power competition and left the sole "victor", it now seems clear, heading toward the exits wreathed in self-congratulation. Explain it as you will, it's as if the planet itself, or humanity, had somehow been inoculated against the imposition of imperial power, as if it now rejected it whenever and wherever applied. In the previous century, it took a half-nation, North Korea, backed by Russian supplies and Chinese troops to fight the US to a draw, or a popular insurgent movement backed by a local power, North Vietnam, backed in turn by the Soviet Union and China to defeat American power. Now, small-scale minority insurgencies, largely using roadside bombs and suicide bombers, are fighting American power to a draw (or worse) with no great power behind them at all. Think of the growing force that resists such military might as the equivalent of the "dark matter" in the universe. The evidence is in. We now know (or should know) that it's there, even if we can't see it. Washington's wars on autopilot After the last decade of military failures, stand-offs and frustrations, you might think that this would be apparent in Washington. After all, the US is now visibly an overextended empire, its sway waning from the Greater Middle East to Latin America, the limits of its power increasingly evident. And yet, here's the curious thing: two administrations in Washington have drawn none of the obvious conclusions and no matter how the presidential election turns out, it's already clear that, in this regard, nothing will change. Even as military power has proven itself a bust again and again, our policymakers have come to rely ever more completely on a military-first response to global problems. In other words, we are not just a classically overextended empire, but also an overwrought one operating on some kind of militarised autopilot. Lacking is a learning curve. By all evidence, it's not just that there isn't one, but that there can't be one.
Take Libya, as an example. It briefly seemed to count as a rare American military success story: a decisive intervention in support of a rebellion against a brutal dictator - so brutal, in fact, that the CIA previously shipped"terrorist suspects", Islamic rebels fighting against the Gaddafi regime, there for torture. No US casualties resulted, while American and NATO air strikes were decisive in bringing a set of ill-armed, ill-organised rebels to power. In the world of unintended consequences, however, the fall of Gaddafi sent Tuareg mercenaries from his militias, armed with high-end weaponry, across the border into Mali. There, when the dust settled, the whole northern part of the country had come unhinged and fallen under the sway of Islamic extremists and al-Qaeda wannabes as other parts of North Africa threatened to destabilise. At the same time, of course, the first American casualties of the intervention occurred when Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died in an attack on the Benghazi consulate and a local "safe house". With matters worsening regionally, the response couldn't have been more predictable. As Greg Miller and Craig Whitlock of the Washington Post recently reported, in ongoing secret meetings, the White House is planning for military operations against al-Qaeda-in-the-Magreb (North Africa), now armed with weaponry pillaged from Gaddafi's stockpiles. These plans evidently include the approach used in Yemen (US special forces on the ground and CIA drone strikes), or a Somalia "formula" (drone strikes, special forces operations, CIA operations and the support of African proxy armies), or even at some point "the possibility of direct US intervention". In addition, Eric Schmitt and David Kilpatrick of the New York Times reportthat the Obama administration is "preparing retaliation" against those it believes killed the US ambassador, possibly including "drone strikes, special operations raids like the one that killed Osama bin Laden and joint missions with Libyan authorities". The near certainty that, like the previous intervention, this next set of military actions will only further destabilise the region with yet more unpleasant surprises and unintended consequences hardly seems to matter. Nor does the fact that, in crude form, the results of such acts are known to us ahead of time have an effect on the unstoppable urge to plan and order them.
Such situations are increasingly legion across the Greater Middle East and elsewhere. Take one other tiny example: Iraq, from which, after almost a decade-long military disaster, the "last" US units essentially fled in the middle of the night as 2011 ended. Even in those last moments, the Obama administration and the Pentagon were still trying to keep significant numbers of US troops there (and, in fact, did manage to leave behind possibly several hundred as trainers of elite Iraqi units). Meanwhile, Iraq has been supportive of the embattled Syrian regime and drawn ever closer to Iran, even as its own sectarian strife has ratcheted upward. Having watched this unsettling fallout from its last round in the country, according to the New York Times, the US is now negotiating an agreement "that could result in the return of small units of American soldiers to Iraq on training missions. At the request of the Iraqi government, according to General Caslen, a unit of Army Special Operations soldiers was recently deployed to Iraq to advise on counterterrorism and help with intelligence". Don't you just want to speak to those negotiators the way you might to a child: No, don't do that! The urge to return to the scene of their previous disaster, however, seems unstaunchable. You could offer various explanations for why our policymakers, military and civilian, continue in such a repetitive - and even from an imperial point of view - self-destructive vein in situations where unpleasant surprises are essentially guaranteed and lack of success a given. Yes, there is the military-industrial complex to be fed. Yes, we are interested in the control of crucial resources, especially energy, and so on. But it's probably more reasonable to say that a deeply militarised mindset and the global manoeuvers that go with it are by now just part of the way of life of a Washington eternally "at war". They are the tics of a great power with the equivalent of Tourette's Syndrome. They happen because they can't help but happen, because they are engraved in the policy DNA of our national security complex, and can evidently no longer be altered. In other words, they can't help themselves. That's the only logical conclusion in a world where it has become ever less imaginable to do the obvious, which is far less or nothing at all. (Northern Chad? When did it become crucial to our wellbeing?) Downsizing the mission? Inconceivable. Thinking the unthinkable? Don't even give it a thought! What remains is, of course, a self-evident formula for disaster on autopilot. But don't tell Washington. It won't matter. Its denizens can't take it in.

The article is sobering and depressing as it describes a situation that has never ended well. The article argues that we are trapped in an imperial nightmare, a power without parallel, yet mired in decades long wars with primitive insurgents ending in a draw. And worse of all, no matter who wins this election, nothing will change.- AnonymousSun Oct 14, 01:29:00 AM EDT
The United States is not an empire. It is tiresome to continue reading that we are an empire.
In Lexington, our people are manufacturing Nissans for the nips.
Some empire.
Germany is again top dog in Europe.
Up to our eyebrows in debt to the chinamen, everything we wear is made there.
As for our military power, we've never really used it since Europe and Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Most places, even South Korea, where we only half prevailed, they are a lot better off for it.
See: Doug's satellite photo.
We must be the first empire in the history of the world to give up our 'conquests'.
Under Obama we now lack the will to even control our own border to the south.
Hell of an empire.
And under Obama it appears we've been hell bent to aid the muslim brotherhood.
bRepliesDecades ago we helped the Iranians resist incorporation into the Soviet Empire. The Ayatollah came decades later to condemn us for corrupting Iran. We helped the Afghans repel the Russians. The Afghans became the Taliban and provided support & shelter to the 9/11 terrorists. Ten years of war. We helped the Libyans and they have murdered the Ambasador. What part of Mind Your Own GD Business is too confusing for you neocons?
I wouldn't say it doesn't matter who wins. When Obama announced we were bringing ALL the troops home from Iraq the republicans wailed, and railed.
When he announced we were leaving Afghanistan in 2014, they squealed, and squalled.
Every time the McCains of the right start screaming and stomping their little feetsies about how we have to do something about the poor little Syrians, or Libyans, or (pick one,) Obama just calmly goes about doing what he's doing. Study it a bit; figure who the best of a sorry mess really are, and then send'em a little stuff.
Now, he seems to be perfectly fine with a $100 Billion Defense Cut. Yeah, I think it matters.Replies- Ed HarrisonSun Oct 14, 02:15:00 AM EDT
Obama's Foreign Policy is simple. Bow, ask forgiveness, apologize. The U.S. deserves the blame whether warranted or not. Susan Rice was emphatic. She insisted the death of four Americans was our fault. She absolved the terrorists of blame. Because of our reckless belief in freedom of speech, an American movie on the internet caused understandable outrage, resulting in the
death of our Ambassador to Libya and three others.
How dare us. It is our fault. The President is echoing our enemies propaganda. Obama will beg forgiveness as he punishes the colonialists. After all, didn't he return the Churchill bust because of Britain's colonial policies in Kenya ?
Romney should send the children out of the room. The adults need to talk. - AnonymousSun Oct 14, 02:19:00 AM EDT
Biden asked a very good question concerning the problem of Syria. He asked Ryan, what would you do differently? Ryan stated, that Romney agreed with the approach of this administration and had no intentions of attacking Syria. He implied that they would merely help the opposition. Since that action has provided very little progress, what would be the purpose of continuing the same type of action and in the process, supplying arms and ammunition to groups that are hostile toward the U.S.?
If one cannot defeat the enemy or improve the situation, why pursue such activity, particularly when U.S. national security is not at stake? This is indeed, a religious battle taking place within the M.E. and thus far, two wars in the last twenty years have not changed a thing. The U.S. does not need to be involved in any more wars that do not effect their national security.

I recall the 60 min report where the US Amb told Saddam, that the USA regarded his problems with Kuwait as "An Arab problem".
Which I took to mean, knowing the history of the area, as a green light to use force.
Remember Saddam had been our ally as long as he was fighting Iran. He expected the USA to give him a free hand in return, unless told "NO" in no uncertain words. As for the the "Arab Springs" our won State Dept started those.Humm..funny we did not support the democratic movements in Saudi. Gee, I wonder why?
Our foreign policy is a mess and it's not getting any better. I'm voting Romney-Ryan because of our economy; however, our foreign policy will be in the hands of the neocons and Israeli-firsters. Another war could destroy our ability to restore our economy quickly. Let's hope it doesn't happen. There's not likely to be any more of that "restoring of economies, quickly" in the near future.
With Global Oil Exports falling every year, and China and India requiring more, and more of a diminishing supply, we'll be lucky to keep our nose above water, much less our pointy little heads.Nate Silver (538 Blog) thinks most polls underestimate the strength of the Latino Vote, which causes them to often underestimate Dem support in heavily latino states such as Nevada, Colorado, and Fla.
Seems to think that one should consider, paribus ceteris, giving some credence to spanish/english speaking polls like the recent outlier in Az.
538 BlogIts actually informative stuff. I really prefer to read.There is a lot of helpful information within your post.....Hope to learn rather a lot and have a pleasant experience here!Thanks for post. my best regards guys!

Pay in 3 instalments
The following Terms apply between Klarna Bank AB UK Branch ("Klarna", "we" or "us") and you who has made a purchase and want a smoooth payment experience. If you choose this credit offering you agree to these Terms.
This is a credit offering you can choose to part pay your purchases by dividing the cost into 3 payments without any interest, fees or charges using a credit or debit card. However, the issuer of your card may charge interest or other fees under the terms of your card agreement.
How do I Pay in 3 instalments?
Provide your card details in order to complete your purchase. The first payment is taken from your card at the time the merchant confirms your order. The two remaining payments will also be taken from your card 30 and 60 days after the first payment is taken. We will tell you the due dates via electronic communication and they are viewable in the Klarna application.
You give us the authority to take the two remaining payments from your card on the due dates. In the event the merchant does not charge for your entire order at the same time, we will create a different Pay in 3 instalments plan for each merchant charge. Each of these order parts will have its own due date depending on when the merchant confirms that part of your order. This situation may be common where a merchant does not ship all the items from your order at the same time.
Failure to pay
You will maintain an adequate credit balance on your card to allow for payments to be taken on the due dates. Pay in 3 instalments is a form of credit. It is important you ensure enough funds are available to complete your payment on the due date. If you fail to make a payment you will be in default, and may be unable to use the service in the future. We may continue to attempt to collect overdue and currently due payments on subsequent due dates, or invoice you separately for the unpaid total. If you do not pay for your purchase, Klarna may engage with an external debt collection agency to collect on our behalf.
What do I need to know?
You must be 18 years old.
Pay in 3 instalments is a form of credit.
The card is valid (i.e. has not expired) and issued to you, and you have sufficient funds on the card.
It is at our discretion whether we offer you this credit offering. We may limit the types of cards we accept at our discretion. If a type of card is not accepted you will be notified before the purchase is completed. Most valid credit and debit cards that are not scheduled to expire in the near future are accepted. We do not accept prepaid cards. If we accept a card we will authorise the card for 1/3 of the order total at point of purchase. This amount will not be charged until the merchant confirms the order, but your card issuer may restrict your access to the authorised amount while pending. If we, for any reason, would be unable to charge the first instalment from your card, we will notify you about this and conduct a maximum of two (2) retries in order to try to collect the funds. You will be notified in good time in writing about the payment failure and when the retries will be scheduled so you'll have enough time to make sure that you have sufficient funds on your card. If we were unable to withdraw funds after the two (2) retries, the missed payment will be rolled over to the second instalment. You can update the card linked to your purchase for payment at any time prior to your due date in the Klarna application and, where changed, we shall attempt to collect from this new card information.
We may carry out a limited credit search on you at a credit reference agency. This search will not affect your credit score or your chances of obtaining a credit in future. If we do not carry out a limited credit search we will validate your card and request authorisation from your card issuer. In this case there will be no entry shown on your credit file for these payments.
If we are not able to take the second instalment from your card on the due date we will provide you a courtesy slack period of a few days so that you can update your payment method or ensure enough funds are available on your selected card. If we are not able to take the second instalment during this period we will make two (2) more retries before rolling over the unpaid amount to the next and final instalment. If we are unable to take the outstanding amount on the third instalment, we will follow the same procedure as listed above with two (2) retries and thereafter, if payment is not successful, we may invoice you the remaining amount or follow our debt collection procedures. Please note that Klarna will notify you in writing prior to any withdrawals taken from your registered card, if a payment fails, if an instalment amount is rolled over to the next scheduled due date or if the debt is handed over to an external debt collection agency.
If your card is cancelled you will immediately pay us all the remaining payments when we ask you to. If your card details change between your initial purchase and final payment, you agree to notify Klarna of your updated card information. Klarna will provide you an online method to provide these updates. If you fail to provide updated information, you authorize Klarna to obtain the updated details from your card issuer, if available.
You authorize us to store your card details on our systems. We will use this information to authorize future payments under these Terms. Unless you opt out, we may also use this information to conveniently prefill your card details for future purchases. You may manage your cards and details online. In the event Klarna obtains updated card information from your card issuer, you agree that we may store this updated information on our system.
You can pay any remaining payments at any time and we will not charge you for doing so.
If you cancel your purchase we will cancel any remaining payments and pay back to your card any amounts we have taken. Any part returns or refunds credited to your purchase will reduce your outstanding balance, but do not count as payments. You will need to continue to make your previously disclosed payments at scheduled due dates until your balance is paid in full.
