BREAKINGVIEWS - India is still unravelling
(The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own)
By Jeff Glekin
MUMBAI (Reuters Breakingviews) - India is still unravelling. Nine months ago, Reuters Breakingviews published a three-part series on the state of the country's economy. At that time, most economists projected GDP growth of around 7 percent in 2012, a sharp drop from the near-double digit expansion of the boom. Today, India has fallen further behind. The case for economic reform - and a realignment of the political system - remains as strong as ever.
Notwithstanding recent policies unveiled by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on what has been called "Big Bang Friday", growth expectations have fallen further. And though the political gridlock that has dogged the Congress-led government throughout its eight years in office may finally have been broken, missed opportunities, government handouts and corruption scandals have taken their toll.
India faces three big economic challenges: reforming its energy industry; drawing a line under the era of crony capitalism; and reducing the burden of regulation. Achieving these goals might require a new political force to put its hands on the reins of power.
Indian energy is unsustainably cheap. The $35 billion debt of India's state-run electricity boards - now in the process of being restructured - is just one manifestation of how power has been under-priced. Fuel subsidies, meanwhile, are crippling the government. The OECD estimates that cheap diesel alone costs the government three percent of GDP every year: equivalent to half of last year's budget deficit.
Pricing power properly would not only ease the pressure on government finances: it would also boost the value of state-owned firms. For example, Coal India (COAL.NS) sells its output at around 70 percent of international market prices, according to The Children's Investment Fund. The company generates $8.30 of EBITDA per tonne of coal: China's Shenhua makes $45.70 per tonne. If Coal India could double its EBITDA per tonne that might add $20 billion to its value. More efficient power pricing would also improve resource allocation, stimulate investment, and increase supply. India's recent huge power outage, which left half the nation without electricity in August, demonstrates how critically that is needed.
Then there is the state's lackadaisical approach to guarding its assets. Valuable telecom spectrum was given away for $29 billion less than it was worth in 2008. Next came the "coalgate" fiasco, where the government stands accused of handing out coal blocks to corporate giants at a loss of $33 billion. The Supreme Court has already insisted that the government must in future auction such assets. That's sensible, but it's not the end of the story. The government still needs to address the perception that there has been a huge transfer of wealth from the state into private hands. Even if the businesses were only following the rules, there's a case for levying a one-off tax to claw back the windfall they received.
Finally, India needs deep structural reform which promotes productivity and wealth creation. The reforms of 1991 heralded an end of the "License Raj" during which time businesses were strictly controlled by the state. But progress has been slow. The World Bank last year ranked Indian 132nd out of 183 countries in terms of ease of doing business. Starting a new business in India still requires 57 different approvals. New Delhi, meanwhile, boasts a total of 77 ministers with overlapping remits in areas such as drinking water, sanitation and water resources.
A reforming government could set about rationalising bureaucracy and archive archaic laws which are no longer relevant. Some in the government are already trying. Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Stanford-educated son of a Maharaja who is now a junior commerce minister, has launched a website that will allow entrepreneurs to apply for all the clearances they need to start a business. Simplifications of this kind will make India friendlier to business.
The key question is whether recent reforms can be sustained. A small reduction in diesel subsidies is a good start, as is allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in the retail and aviation industries. But even these measures face resistance. One of the least positive aspects has been the right wing opposition's stance. Instead of holding Congress to account for its economic mismanagement, the BJP has led the fight against recent reforms.
India's youthful population is badly served by this system. In the last decade, the country has alternated between coalition governments of either the left-leading Congress Party or the Hindu nationalist BJP with a collection of parochial regional parties. In India, the need for a new voice is great. A party with a national agenda, not beholden to any one region, could make the country's political system more effective.
Such a movement would need to develop a new style of political campaigning, targeting 50 or so winnable seats. It would also need untainted cash. Mass fundraising could be a way of both campaigning and building momentum. India's 100 million internet users and 900 million mobile phone owners could be tapped for small sums. And roping in a Bollywood hero like Aamir Khan, whose TV show has made him the India's answer to Oprah Winfrey, could add glamour and mass market appeal. With only two years to go before the next election, time is running out. But if India's reformers get their act together, they could change the nation.

The Cat Is Over The BathSubmitted by Spinoza on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 01:40
I do not need to tell you that this week has been difficult. However bad things may have seemed this week, I assure you that they will only get worse in the coming months.
Let's not be naive. We are taking away serious amounts of power from people who have, for probably 50-60 years, wielded this power without ever encountering a threat as serious, as organized and (incredibly) as incorruptible as we have now assembled. They never imagined this day would arrive, and now that it has, they will not just hand over the keys to the castle without a fight. As our opponents have shown, they will stop at nothing to retain their power. What we saw in Arizona and Oklahoma was just the beginning.
If you have ever given a cat a bath you know what we can look forward to.
Nothing terrifies a housecat quite like the prospect of getting soaked in water. With the water running in the bathtub, you run down stairs to find little Scratchy and the moment she sees you she knows something is not right. She acts relatively normal until she hears the running water about 10 feet from the bathroom door. Then her claws come out and she starts to squirm a bit.
As you enter the bathroom, you have to grip her hard to keep her from jumping out of your arms. Then she starts to make a sound. A terrible, horrible sound, so deep and unnatural that it reminds you of the exorcist. As you reach the bathtub, you can no longer pin her against your body and you have to drop her in over the water. She seizes this opportunity and claws at your wrists with her back feet, trying to shake herself loose. But you have to remain committed, or she will get loose and then you have to start the process all over.
Then as soon as she touches the water all hell breaks loose into something that could only be described as a "Cat Explosion." Sometimes, the cat explosion works, and the creature breaks free and hides under the bed. But even if she has only her back claws, and you manage to hold her firm in the water, your hands and your forearms will likely be shredded. If she has her front and back claws, you will be bleeding by the time you have her soaking wet and wrapped in a towel to dry off.
Patriots, we are giving the establishment cat a bath, and we are now over the water. Do not falter, do not lose your grip. As the claws come out, it will be vicious, painful and we will want to loosen our grip. But we will not. No amount of clawing or scratching will break our resolve. We will get this cat soaking wet and squeaky clean, and their ain't a damn thing that can stop us.

Bump for newly added vid. In lieu of all that is happening, this seemed timely.
As a cat lover, one of my all-time favorite posts, Spinoza
A dead-on analogy
Spinoza, what a wonderfully descriptive story.
For the most part, a cat does not dislike the water; it's the sound and the fury of the water coming out of the faucet echoing in the bathroom and the sense of an adversarial unsureness conveyed by the handler, that frightens it.
It has been my experience with my Maine Coon kitties, a firm confident hand, a low volume, smooth reassuring voice and a gradual increase in water temperature and pressure was most effective. It's really good to know that, when washing three 15-20 lbs. cats, built like a Rottweiler with claws…....every week. On top of that, putting them in a "show" environment where everything is strange and out of their control requires an even greater attention to being calm and firmly asserting confidence and reassurance.
The person directly in front of our face has more influence over us than someone on the other side of the room, out in the hall, in another state or in another country. When confronted, we immediately begin to take our own counsel. This singular perspective gives us the sense our solution is unique; no matter how much information there is to the contrary. Videos of the dirty tricks being perpetrated at the different conventions are all over the internet, yet when the next convention is held it's the same-old-same-old. We are the impassioned and knowledgeable Ones. We know what needs to be done and how to bring it about. Up 'til now, we have not been intimidating "the cat"; we have been frightening "the cat." To control "the cat" we must be still within. An internally quiet demeanor gives great power to those few times the spoken word is necessary. Imagine for a moment…500 delegates rising in unison from a respectful silence and with a single voice, causing the building to shutter, calling for "A POINT OF ORDER!"
As We turn up the heat and apply the pressure, "the cat" will sense our strength and will be helpless to resist our firm hand on its shoulder. "The cat" will recognize its resistance is futile, when, in a confident reassuring voice we say to them "Ron Paul WILL BE the Republican nominee for President of the United States, and we have the delegates to prove it."
I stood before the man and felt his breath on my face. In his eyes I saw …. A warrior.
Good One!
I'll have to incorporate The Cat is now Over the Bath into my daily vernacular. Sweet.
Thanks for posting.
Its kind of like....
...encountering the really tough security on the inside of Fort Knox.
...when your adversary in litigation flies in out of state attorneys on the eve of trial.
...Indiana Jones coming across more and more booby traps as he inches toward the golden statue in the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In other words, you know your getting closer to an obtainable goal because your opponent is ramping up his resistance.
Not the time to pack up and go home.

Over the Bath
The title made me think of the way a cat holds a grudge. I've given a cat a bath and it ended with the cat "not talking" to me for a couple of days. After we win the nomination, how long do you think the cat will hold a grudge?
Blue Republican
It won't be too long...
It helps to give it some catnip and Fancy Feast after it dries off. If the cat is really dirty (like ours) they will actually enjoy the newly discovered sensation of feeling clean!
Thanks for the comments!

She will always be skittish around water...
...but as long as she's treated gently but firmly, she will realize how dirty she was and appreciate the wash.

Love this post! Such a great
Love this post! Such a great analogy! Let's get that dirty cat all cleaned up pronto, and let's not turn loose because it scratches or bites.
Cat Explosion
brought back a memory of an old Superbowl commercial I saw years ago.
Or, You Could Use String
Well, string won't get a cat into the bath (unless they're one of those cats who love water), but it's amazing how often it is easier to lead a cat with string, even to water.
It's the libertarian approach.
In other words, talk to some Romney delegates about changing their minds, at least on the first round of voting. I mean, using brute force of numbers is not the only way to go.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/
next time put the cat
in its carrier box on top of your car- go to the carwash, wallah! 1 clean cat!
just another of lifes lessons from the Romney camp, but seriously this analogy is perfect!
I say we drown the damn cat...
... and get a dog named Liberty.
I had a similar thought. ;-)

Must be a recent experience...
"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" -Jebediah Springfield
It doesn't have to be recent
to be graphically (and perhaps traumatically) burned into one's memory. Yes I have battled the mighty Feline and bear the scars of war.
I used to have a cat named 'Conan' and yes he was a barbarian. He would eat Jalepenos out of your hand and would bite you if you didn't give him another (not kidding). On previous occasions we'd had run ins, not always bath related. Once I had blood dripping down off my elbows. Later, I just cornered him in the garage with a water hose.
The GOP is a lot like a mean cat. It thinks it owns the place, and uses its owners. It even attacks its providers.
Sort of recent....
The last time was when one of our cats got sprayed by a skunk a few years ago. We tried giving it a bath in tomato juice, which I promise you, I will never do again.
Thanks for the comment!

I was about to say
there is very rarely a reason to bath a cat, but that would be one.
That was a
Purrrrrrfect example!
We are over the water, approaching target....over!

Erratic and unpredictable
Determined and desperate.
Cats (no matter how you spell it) are an enormous challenge, and worth every clawing, biting, and bitter complaint.

Aleppo residents apathetic following Assad speech
Boy holds bread as others line up outside bakery in Aleppo 3.
(photo credit:reuters)
Aleppo, Syria - Hamid Habu looked puzzled when a foreigner approached him in the street. He was neither aware that President Bashar Assad had given his first speech in more than six months nor did he really care."What did he talk about?" the 41-year old heating repair man asked. "Is he going to end the war?"Though Western politicians and Syrian exiles were quick to condemn Assad's soliloquy as out of touch with reality, residents in the country's largest city of Aleppo barely took notice of their president's surprise appearance. Most lacked electricity to power their televisions while others were more concerned with buying the daily necessities they need to survive.Muhammad Faturi spends most of his day waiting in line to buy bread. The war has disrupted flour deliveries and gas supplies, leaving Aleppo residents to wait up to seven hours to buy a bag of bread. Between his time in bread lines and work in his paint store, he has few moments to contemplate the luxuries."I heard Assad offered the opposition some concessions," he told The Media Line as customers in front of him pushed and shoved to get closer to the delivery window. "I think it's a good thing."In the speech, Assad offered his opponents no olive branch but rather more of the same punishing retribution he has been meting out since demonstrators first took to the streets in March 2011. He lambasted his adversaries as "enemies of God and puppets of the West." The Syrian opposition group known as the National Coalition, in turn declared that, "the speech by Bashar Assad confirms his incompetence as a head of state."The State Department also chimed in noting that Assad's "initiative is detached from reality." But in Aleppo, many did not understand why foreigners were so interested in gauging their reaction to what they described as a routine presidential appearance. In a country accustomed to its leader streaming a constant torrent of meaningless rhetoric, few paid attention to his latest attempt."The president makes speeches all the time," Sami Zeidan said outside a pharmacy. "We don't listen to what he says. Why should this time be different?"Instead Zeidan was more focused on trying to find medicine for his daughter's bronchitis. With drugs in short supply, most of the pharmacists he visited apologetically referred him to others."What good are speeches and reactions when children cannot breathe?" he asked The Media Line.Syrians' indifference to Assad's speech goes far beyond their preoccupation with other matters. Many here can no longer tell the difference between the regime and the opposition fighting it. "Bashar is no worse than the Free Army (FSA)," says a man named Muhammad, referring to the band of rebels fighting the regime. "They do the same things Bashar's men do."As the fighting in Aleppo has reached a stalemate, residents have turned their ire against the rebels who shattered their tranquil lives when they dislodged regime forces from most of the city. But instead of being rewarded with freedom, residents were repaid with the collapse of daily life that has left them bitter and angry."Bashar is right to call them enemies," shouted a man who would only give his name as Ahmad. "Look at the destruction all around. They are to blame."With its skyline reduced to rubble, rivers of water from broken water pipes and endless shelling, Aleppo has seen significant destruction. And few here are ready to sacrifice anymore for a war that cost so much.Sentiments like these partially explain Assad's uncompromising line. With so many Syrians exhausted with a war that has little to show for itself, his harsh tone is slowly but gradually wearing down opposition to his continued rule."I don't see how he will step down when he acts so triumphantly," said Fawzi Hayyati trying to avoid the slippery mud in a main thoroughfare. "He sounds like he expects to be president forever. And the people are starting to believe him."His friend Mazin Krini nodded in agreement. "Assad looks strong as the FSA looks increasingly weak. I think he has the upper hand."As long as that continues, Assad can remain defiant in the face of an opposition on the ropes and a paralyzed international community that offers nothing more than daily condemnations of his policies.

They would generally date a same-age or older man but would only date a younger baller for the money. Typically, they prey on the rookies or the players that have been in the league 2-3 years. There is at least a 5-year age difference between the…

Nina Dobrev Pictured Holidaying With Shirtless 'The Hunger Games Actor' Alexander Ludwig, Ludwig Reveals Their Little Game

By nidhi tewari | August 26, 2014 12:32 AM EST
If Ian Somerhalder has reportedly found love in "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed, his ex-girlfriend Nina Dobrev too seems to be moving on with her life. The 25-year-old "The Vampire Diaries" actress was seen holidaying with "The Hunger Games" actor Alexander Ludwig over the weekend.
REUTERS/Kevork Djsnsezian
Actress Nina Dobrev arrives at the 2014 People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles, California January 8, 2014.
E! Online has released a picture of Nina and Alexander relaxing on a luxurious yacht in Ibiza, Spain. The gorgeous actress showed off her sexy body in a black two piece bikini as she soaked up the sun in the company of a shirtless Ludwig. The hot bodied hunk was wearing blue swimming trunks and was seen sitting next to Nina and talking to her,
The website has posted the picture of only Nina and Ludwig engaging in a conversation, but the report revealed that the two were holidaying with a couple of friends on the yacht. The 22-year-old blonde actor revealed to Just Jared that he and Nina are playing a game of scaring each other and Nina has been winning all the time.
"Right now, she's winning, but it's only because I'm working on Vikings, and she came to Dublin and scared me. So I'm going to go to Atlanta and gonna get her back, so it's still on," Alexander told Just Jared.
"She had a friend, that also works with me, and she flew out, and she was supposed to come visit but she came and visited a couple days early. I walked into the hotel lobby and she was hiding behind a wall, and she freaked me out. I was really happy to see her, but I was also very angry that she got me," the "When the Game Stands Tall" actor said to the website.
After splitting from Ian Somerhalder, Nina has reportedly been linked with a bevy of men including Orlando Bloom and Benjamin McKenzie. So far, the gorgeous actress has not confirmed her relationship with any of them.
Nina also made a remarkable appearance at the Sunday night MTV Video Music Awards. The actress wore a Zuhair Murad dress that was a combination of a sexy red top and a fitted leather black skirt, which highlighted her tiny wait. Check out her picture here.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive that it calls "Overwatch," designed to let players govern themselves when it comes to problem behavior.
Overwatch will deputize some players as "investigators" (based on stats like wins and hours played), who are then given a replay of a match from a reported player, and asked to rule on whether "the suspect" was cheating, griefing, or if there's "insufficient evidence" to rule. Once a collective verdict is reached, Valve will then determine if a ban needs to be given, and investigators will be rewarded if their judgments all agree.
The process sounds very much like League of Legends' Tribunal program, which Riot Games has been using recently to try and cure that game of toxic player behavior. Valve says the system is currently in beta, and that it will be adding test cases to make sure the program works correctly. Eventually, however, the plan is to make Overwatch completely driven by the community.

More than 100 church-based relief and development organizations worldwide have formally united under an umbrella group.
ACT Alliance, one of the world's largest humanitarian bodies, was formally launched Wednesday with the main celebration in Geneva. The new body is a merger of the disaster relief network ACT International and its sister organization ACT Development.
Both ACT International, established in 1995, and ACT Development, formed in 2007, were created through the leadership of the World Council of Churches. The two bodies coordinate the work of agencies related to member churches of the WCC and the Lutheran World Federation in the areas of humanitarian emergencies and poverty reduction, respectively. more >>
A seventh World Vision worker in Pakistan has died after the office was attacked last week by gunmen, the Christian humanitarian agency announced Tuesday.

In total, seven local staffs working for children and displaced communities in North Western Pakistan have died following Wednesday's attack on the World Vision office in Mansehra District, north of the capital, Islamabad. The staff members who died from the violent act range in age from 23 to 43 years old. more >>
Anti-poverty Christian groups are up in arms after popular political commentator Glenn Beck urged Christians to leave their church if it talks about social justice.

WASHINGTON – We have different opinions, admitted the White House's faith-based advisers on Tuesday when they presented their recommendations. But we were able to find "meaningful common ground," they added.
After a year of work, the 25 members of the first Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships presented a report that included more than 60 recommendations for six issues - economic recovery and domestic poverty, fatherhood and healthy families, environment and climate change, inter-religious cooperation, global poverty and development, and reform of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The proposals provide suggestions on how the government can better work with faith-based and community groups to tackle major social issues. more >>
Churches and aid organizations already have massive relief efforts going on in Haiti but that's not stopping them from looking more south where Chile is reeling from one of the strongest earthquakes on record.
"[W]ithout even stepping a foot into Central Chile, it is clear that the hundreds of thousands affected by this earthquake desperately need our prayers – and will also need our help as we learn more about the extent of the damage," said Randy Hurst, World Missions Communications director for the Assemblies of God.
International and local relief organizations are still assessing the needs and damage on the ground as initial deliveries of food and supplies are being made. more >>
A Scottish man who benefited from the Salvation Army's services to the elderly left the ministry with an unexpected $1.27 million in his will.
The Salvation Army in Angus, an eastern county in Scotland, revealed this past weekend that Robert Saddler, a retired architect, had given the second largest donation ever to the branch's community care service. The largest gift, $1.5 million, was given 13 years ago and used to set up the service.
Saddler, who reportedly has no immediate living family, had received help from the Salvation Army Angus since he was in his 80s. Ministry workers had shopped and collected medicines for him until his death at the age of 95. The particular Salvation Army service that Saddler used helps elderly people maintain an independent life. more >>

Fab Sauce Is One Of The Most Disturbing Animations I've Seen In A While
Video: Adult Swim has new promotional shorts, and they are fantastically weird. This one is Fab Sauce, a film about a sauce so good that it makes every object, plant and animal irresistibly delicious. Humans too. John Carpenter should do a movie based on this.
Time Travel Probably Isn't A Good Idea If This Short Film Is Anything To Go By
Video: In 2247, time travel will be invented. Its only restriction? You can only travel back in time three minutes. It becomes a new safety feature for space travellers called Timedrive. Every ship will be fitted with it as a safety requirement. That's the plot of a great new short film called Exit Log, and while it sounds good in theory, it's a terrible idea in practice.

Unfortunately the post-meetings rhetoric left plenty to be desired in the optimism department.
"We've done a lot of abstract and philosophical speaking on economics, but ultimately there has to be a (PA) proposal," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said according to Lance Hornby.
That's problematic because, as Michael Grangethe reported, NHLPA's Steve Fehr said that the union doesn't have any immediate plans to present the league with a new proposal.
Darren Dreger summed up Friday's meetings by saying that "none of what has been discussed will lead to an end to the lockout."
Still, at least they're holding meetings. That's more than we could have said at this point last week.

I think the private conversation was needed to get rid of the noise in the room.
- id4joey - Sep 28, 2012 at 9:20 PM
Everything is according to plan. Now that the NHL has cancelled the pre season games, the owners will be happy to make few concessions to get the deal done. Then they can cash in on some of the HRR.
- lammy5555 - Sep 28, 2012 at 10:06 PM
I hope the NHL goes bankrupt. This lockout is just ridiculous. Both sides are greedy. Both sides are the blame.
By the way, I'm a huge hockey fan.

has the NHL and NHLPA ever heard the phrase"don't bite the hand that feeds you"?!?!

4 work stoppages since 1992. Who is the common denominator in all this??? Answer: Gary Bettman. The man is a moron, he's bad for the sport and he should be bounced out on his ass!
- paperlions - Sep 29, 2012 at 11:25 AM
If you think Betman has any say in a work stoppage, you are the moron. All commissioners serve at the pleasure of the owners. They don't get to vote on a CBA (or rules changes or anything else), they don't get to set terms, they just do what they are told by the owners. Of course, part of their job is to absorb blame to divert backlash toward owners/teams….but that doesn't mean you need to indulge them.
- tatdue - Sep 29, 2012 at 11:54 AM
@paperlions – Bettman has a lot more power than you think…When the owners hired him as commissioner they gave him absolute power to run the league as he will…Now I'm sure that they could reel him in but they would probably have to threaten him with his job in order to do it….I'm hoping that their desire to play takes over and they do fire the turd….The players might not be getting paychecks but the owners aren't making any money either and for the teams that make a lot of it, this must be driving them crazy!
- manchestermiracle - Sep 29, 2012 at 10:07 AM
If neither side is going to move off of their current positions what is the point in meeting? So they can write off the lunch as a tax-deductible expense?
- isithockeyseasonyet - Sep 29, 2012 at 12:53 PM
The lockout wont end until bettman Gets fired from his other job as the count on sesame street and he needs the money again

Derek Plumbly on Lebanese Resilience Amid Rising Challenges
Lebanon has exceeded expectations in dealing with the continuing fallout from the crisis in neighboring Syria, said Derek Plumbly, United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, on March 26th. Speaking at the International Peace Institute, Mr. Plumbly praised the Lebanese people for "actually sustaining a measure of stability in their country."
Since civil war broke out three years ago in Syria, roughly 1 million refugees have fled across the border into Lebanon, a country that had a population of fewer than 5 million before the crisis started. Rather than set up camps, Lebanon has tried to accommodate the refugees by temporarily integrating them into Lebanese society.
The more than 20 percent swell in total population, however, has significantly strained Lebanon's economy as well as the security and political spheres, Mr. Plumbly said. "All three areas have been deeply affected by the Syrian crisis," he said.
He said the hardest hit areas are some 200 cities and towns, mostly in the north, where refugee density is highest, with Syrians vastly outnumbering Lebanese in some areas and creating competition for resources—including jobs, housing, and basic services such as water, electricity, and plumbing.
Empty streets in Beirut with boarded up restaurants and grocery stores reflect the findings of a recent economic assessment by the World Bank, Mr. Plumbly said. The report found growth at a complete standstill over the last two years, he explained.
Arguing that an upsurge of terrorism adds to mounting tension between refugees and locals, Mr. Plumbly noted that there have been nine suicide bombings since last November, including the first political assassination in many years.
"As this has gone on, a polarization and a growth in extremism reflect the tensions between the communities," he said, adding that this has also strained the authority of the government.
Nevertheless, the Lebanese people—many of whom remember their own bloody civil war that ended in 1990—remain resolved not to be drawn into the fighting, the UN official argued. "People are very conscious of just how appalling it will be if they go over the edge," he said, "and that, I think, does give a measure of restraint."
With thousands of Syrians crossing the border daily and no end to the conflict in sight, he said, the situation remains "extremely volatile."
The Lebanese government is determined to avoid delaying the presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for later this year, noted Mr. Plumbly, and he called on the international community to continue to support Lebanon.
We need to help keep things "on course, institutions in place, capable of dealing with challenges that arise" because the Lebanese need support. "And standing with them as they do so—delivering on these various support agendas—is enormously important."
The event was moderated by Warren Hoge, IPI Senior Advisor for External Relations.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Rebecca V. Mintiens was appointed assistant principal for Murray Avenue School by the Mamaroneck Board of Education.
She will take over on Monday, July 14 from Cruz Soler, who retired at the end of June.
"My most recent internship gave me the chance to walk in the principal's shoes and shadow her for an entire year," Mintiens said.
"I'm thrilled about my new role at Murray Ave. School and am excited to immerse myself in the Larchmont-Mamaroneck community," she said.
Mintiens lives in Valhalla with her 11-month-old son Avery and husband Christian. Her original degree from Marywood University was in music and theater for children.
She continues to be an avid lover of the arts, and in her spare time Mintiens enjoys running, reading and spending time with her family.
Mintiens comes to Murray after nine years teaching early childhood education. She has master's degrees in early childhood education and deaf education from Columbia University's Teachers College as well as a Columbia University graduate degree in school building administration.
As chairperson of the school leadership team at PS 859 Special Music School in Manhattan, Mintiens worked with parents, teachers and community members and benefited from a principal mentorship.
She also served as leader of several other committees, including the emergency response team and the inquiry team, which analyzed student data, test scores and teacher input to guide instruction and set rigorous goals for students.

Christ Church Cathedral restoration campaigner Jim Anderton has hit back at the Anglican Church, saying its public criticism of the restoration effort is "factually incorrect".
An advertisement in The Press yesterday, headlined "Important Facts", laid out the Church Property Trustees' argument against restoring the cathedral.
Anderton heads the Great Christchurch Buildings Trust, which campaigned to save the cathedral and was taking the church to court next month as a final effort.
In the advertisement, the church disputed the trust's engineering review and accused the trust of deleting items from the original engineering report.
Anderton said the trust had removed items from the engineering report because they accounted for many years of inflation, which pushed cost estimates up.
"Of course we took that out. We want to start restoration right away, not sit around for 15 years."
He said citywide polls conducted since 2011 showed Christchurch people supported restoration.
He disputed the church's claim the rebuild would require base isolation engineering - a significant cost.
Anderton said he was surprised the church had lashed out so close to the court date.
"Suddenly, from out of the blue, this has come out," he said. "With a court case looming it's quite risky for them. I think they're starting to realise the tide is turning.
"People are now looking at the city and realising there's bugger all left."
Anderton said he was aware the city was sick of the back-and-forth arguments about the cathedral, but said he was not afraid to look at himself in the mirror as a defender of the city's heritage.
"If the leadership of the Anglican Church had not been so committed to the destruction of the cathedral, it would've been well on the way to restoration by now," he said.
"I've been in some pretty rough political battles in my life, but this has been the worst."
The Rev Jayson Rhodes, spokesman for the Anglican diocese, said base isolation engineering and inflation costs were "just so necessary" given the complexity of the rebuild.
"It's got nothing to do with tide turning. It's just simply the facts, facts backed by professionals."

La posizione
colazione un po misera
Nice room with balcony. Breakfast was self-service without any hurry. Bathroom was clean. Very friendly staff!
Very noisy!
Self-service breakfast (didn't include anything fresh)
It was clean and the staff are friendly. Very good location. Loved the balcony but no furniture or seats for it.
its hard to find. Even the taxi drivers struggled. You have to have 4 separate keys for 4 seperate doors to get in your room. Only one small pillow. It was November and the room was very cold. Personally I wouldn't stay again but dint onic too much if you have already booked it.
The B&B was located right on Tram 8 line so was very handy to get to from the train station. Giorgia met us and got us all settled with no problems. The area has some wonderful restaurants and the evening embiance was just what we wanted for our last few days in Italy. We would gladly stay here again and recommend it to others.
Being on a main street, the room was noisy on our first night (same as any city street). Giorgia moved us to a larger room for our other 2 nights and it was quieter.
We didn't realize that it was cash only. They do not accept credit cards so we had to run to find a bank to exchange currency.
excellent location for tourists,busses and trams. wondreful cafes and trattorias which were very reasonably priced.Beautiful area.
Convenient to everything nice staff.Didnt expect an apartment block 4 keys were required for entry, didnt meet discription strange accomadation but enjoyed our stay.
Solo traveler
very clean and the service was very helpful. They stored my luggage for me while I was at my meeting and could pick it up later.
I had to work on my computer and my plug adapter didn't fit in their plug! Make sure adapter plugs aren't the bulky ones, because although I could fit it, it was too big to make contact with the electrical wiring. I was almost unable to work on my presentation for my meeting! Luckily the meeting staff lent me a suitable adapter plug (3 round prongs instead of the standard 2 round European prongs).
This tiny B&B really is a gem! I cannot even begin to tell you how much of a difference it made for us to stay here! I traveled with a friend and we were on a super low budget. In Trastevere House was perfect for us, it is just two tram stations South of the Tiber from the historical center. It has great connections to center and train station. Tram 8 goes from the B&B to Piazza Venezia and bus H takes you to Termini. To arrive at the Vatican you take bus 280 from just over the bridge. It really is a stone throw away from everything important. It's also very clean, comfortable and just peaceful.The rooms also have small balconies which are a welcome bonus to smokers! Giorgia was great to us, very accommodating and charming :) Actually we found all Romans to be really nice. And their food is amazing! Don't even think about eating downtown, Trastevere neighborhood has much better food at incredibly low prices, really authentic and yummy. It's not very touristy either. It's also really safe to walk through at night, lots of light and the streets are full of people. We especially recommend Carlo Menta for lunch and Vin Allegro for dinner. It's just wonderful, look it up! I recommend ITH wholeheartedly, it really is the whole package.
For me, the breakfast could have been a bit better as it was comprised only of sweets (packed croissant, milk, jams and butter, cereals, fruit yogurt) and I like a salty taste in my mouth in the morning :) But my friend liked it very much. Also, expect the room to be a bit noisy at night as it is facing the street. But you'll probably be so tired after wandering through this wonderful city all day, that you'll still sleep like a log, like we did!
Simple, clean, easy come and go.
No staff during nights (noicy neighbours can party all night long).
