What's new in Europe? Read on to find out what's recently opened, what's changed, and what's hot for your trip in the year to come.
AUSTRIA-Vienna-Rivaling the long-established Imperial or Bristol, Ana Grand Hotel Wien, Karnter Ring 9, A-1010 Vienna ([tel] 01/515-800), is a seven-story deluxe hotel, only a block from Staatsoper, that's become the new "Grand Hotel" of the Austrian capital. Also in the center, Das Triest, Wiedner Hauptstrasse 12, A-1040 Vienna ([tel] 01/589-18), a 5-minute walk from St. Stephan's Cathedral, is an emerging favorite with artists and musicians. A 17th-century building is now a hip hotel, attracting media types.
Do & Co., in the Haas & Haas, Stephansplatz 4 ([tel] 01/512-26-66), is stylish, upscale, and a delicious venue from one of Austria's most esoteric food stores.
BELGIUM-Brussels-The Parc de Bruxelles, rue Royale, between Parliament and the Royal Palace in the center, has been renovated and restored. The Belgian government has decided to legalize possession of small amounts of cannabis for personal consumption Bruges-The city has been selected as European Capital of Culture for 2002.
THE CZECH REPUBLIC-Prague-Visiting stars Bruce Willis and Italian pop legend Eros Ramazzotti have enjoyed the Four Seasons Hotel, Veleslavínova 2a, Praha 1 ([tel] 02/2142 7), and its view of Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. Now more than 10 years into the post-Communist transformation, Prague's physical regeneration is gaining pace, while the variety of eating experiences improves by the year. There are so many newly reopened and renovated places to try, along with wholly new haunts. KOGO, Havelská 27, Praha 1 ([tel] 02/2421 4543), which brought you some of the best seafood in town, has now opened a light, breezy cafe in the Slovanský dum shopping center. Angel Café, Opatovická 3, Praha 1 ([tel] 02/290 166), offers tasty sandwiches, in a crisp, modern setting near the National Theater. The rococo gem Kinský Palace (Palác Kinských), Staromstské námestí 12, Praha 1 ([tel] 02/2481 0758), reopened hosting some of the best Czech art collections on Old Town Square. Also, President Havel and Prince Charles have just opened the Ledeburská, the Small and Great Pálffyovská, Kolowratská and Small Furstenberská gardens below the Prague Castle-beautifully sculpted terraced spaces with stunning views of the city below.
Karltejn Castle-On this most popular day trip from Prague, don't miss the recently reopened Holy Rood Chapel featuring early Renaissance paintings by Theodoricus.
DENMARK-Copenhagen-A great new moderately priced hotel has opened here, the Copenhagen Strand, Havnegade 37, DK-1058 Kbenhavn K ([tel] 33-48-99-00), dramatically created out of a pair of old brick-and-timber factories. The big culinary news is Michelin's long-delayed recognition of Copenhagen as one of the dining capitals of Europe-Era Ora (Italian), Torvegade 62 ([tel] 32-54-06-93), and Godt (international), Gothersgade 38 ([tel] 33-15-21-22), are the two hot new ones. The latest see-and-be-seen place is Sren K, on the ground floor of the Royal Library's Black Diamond Wing, 1 Soren Kierkegaards Plads ([tel] 33-47-49-49). It's hot and happening, not like the philosopher for whom it is named. The two night clubs generating the most local excitement are Enzo, Norregade 41 ([tel] 33-13-67-88), which has more bars than any other club-each one different-and NASA, Gothersgade 8F, Bolthensgaard ([tel] 33-93-74-15), which features the latest and most avant-garde musical groups.
ENGLAND-London-In Soho, Charlotte Street Hotel, 15 Charlotte St., London W1P 1HB ([tel] 800/553-6674 in the U.S.), is creating a sensation, London chic at its finest but with a Los Angeles cutting edge. Also creating shock waves is Myhotel, 11 and 13 Bayley St., Bedford Square, London, WC1B 3HD ([tel] 020/7667-6). It's designed according to the ancient Chinese art of feng shui. Each traveler is assigned an assistant responsible for one's happiness!
On the restaurant scene, The Square, 6 and 10 Burton St., W1 ([tel] 020/7495-7100), in St. James's is hailed by savvy London foodies as the city's "next great restaurant" thanks to chef Philip Howard. Oxford-In this university city, Gee's Restaurant, 61 Banbury Rd. ([tel] 01865/553-540), in a Victorian glass conservatory, has emerged under a new chef as one of Oxford's finest dining choices, with a Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
FRANCE-Paris-Small and charming, Hotel de Jeu de Paume, 54 rue St-Louis en l'Îsle, 4e ([tel] 01-43-26-14-18), is chic and hip, formed from a pair of 17th-century town houses. It's an instant success. In dining, Georges, 19 rue Beaubourg, 4e ([tel] 01-44-78-47-99), is a hot new ticket, a restaurant on the top floor of Centre Georges Pompidou. No mere tourist trap, it's a venue for artisty Paris drawn to its refined international cuisine.
GERMANY-Berlin-Two little hotels are the talk of the town. On the fourth floor of an Art Nouveau building, the aptly named Art Nouveau Hotel, Leibnizstrasse 59, D-10629 Berlin ([tel] 030/3-27-74-40), is upmarket, atmospheric, and desirable. Hidden away from the bustle of Berlin, Bleibtreu Hotel, Bleibtreustrasse 31 ([tel] 030/ 88474-0), is media hip and trendy, set in the labyrinthine premises of what was originally an Art Nouveau apartment house.
Among Berlin restaurants, Rockendorf's Gourmet Restaurant, Passauerstrasse 5 and 7 ([tel] 030/219-92-170), has moved into the very heart of central Berlin, and the city's serious foodies are flocking to the new location for some grand eating.
Munich - It's called merely Der Tisch, Maxvorstadt, Nymphenburger Strasse 1 ([tel] 089/557-154), or "the table," but it's one of the best and most fashionable dining venues to have emerged in the Bavarian capital.
GREECE-Athens-The biggest news these days is the opening of the new Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos. But most of the news is about what's not open at the airport. Services, access roads, and public transportation are still under construction, so check the airport's status before you land here.
One of Athens's most popular restaurants, Socrates' Prison, 17 Robertou Galli St. ([tel] 01/922-3434), has moved from its old location at 20 Mitseon Street just around the corner to a new location with a roof garden at 17 Robertou Galli St.
Wonderful news: the Benaki Museum, 1 Odos Koumbari 1 ([tel] 01/367-1), in Kolonaki, has reopened after a 10-year restoration and renovation project. The new wing doubles the exhibition space of the original 20th-century neoclassical town house that belonged to the wealthy Benaki family. Display cases in the Syntagma Square Metro station showcase objects unearthed during the excavations for Athens's new Metro system.
Suddenly Psirri, an old warehouse district off Athinas Street, is one of Athens's trendiest neighborhoods. To find out about the bars, cafes, restaurants, theaters, and galleries that are springing up in Psirri, check out www.psirri.gr.
Delphi-The Delphi Archaeology Museum ([tel] 0265/82-313) at the ancient site should have opened its long-awaited extension and almost doubled the number of objects on view.
Nafplion-Everyone's favorite town in the Peloponnese has its first "boutique" hotel: the Hotel Nafsimedon, 9 Sideras Merarhias St. ([tel] 0752/25-060), on Kolokotronis Park.
Santorini-In Fira, the new Thera Foundation ([tel] 0286/230-16) near the cable car station en route to Firostephani has an exhibit of spectacular reproductions and recreations of the frescoes from Akrotiri, sometimes called the "Greek Pompeii."
HUNGARY-Budapest-The Gresham Palace, the once-grand Art Nouveau structure at the head of the Chain Bridge in Pest, is being rescued from its long-time state of woeful disrepair and being converted into a new luxury hotel (of the Four Seasons variety). As anyone who has visited Budapest in the last 30 or 40 years has no doubt noticed, the historic New York Coffeehouse, on the Outer Ring at VII. Erzsébet krt. 9 and 11 ([tel] 061/352-1326), an architectural gem located near Blaha Lujza tér on the Outer Ring, is in awful disrepair. Well, all that is about to change. A Swiss investor group recently won a tender offer to purchase the building and plans to renovate and open a five-star hotel.
Check out the amazing "Tropicarium" at a mall in southern Buda called Campona, located at XXII. Budapest, Nagytétényi út 37 and 43 ([tel] 061/424-3). The Tropicarium features both an aquarium-the largest in Central Europe-and a miniature rain forest, with snakes, alligators, and the like (and rain!).
IRELAND-Dublin-Visitors seeking a panoramic view of Dublin's skyline will be glad to hear of two new observation towers opened to the public in the past year: For the first time since the 1966 demolition of Nelson's Pillar on O'Connell Street, it's possible to get a close-up look at the rooftop layout of Dublin's city center. The "gravity bar" is a glass-walled room perched at the summit of the Guinness Storehouse, James's Gate, a dramatic way to conclude a visit to the new Visitors' Centre ([tel] 01/408-4800). Not quite as lofty but closer to city center is the Jameson Chimney, off Arran Quay, part of the elaborate renovation of Dublin's Smithfield district.
ITALY-Rome-Near Villa Borghese, Testa Food & Wine, Via Tirso 30 ([tel] 06-8530-0692), is a real culinary find, attracting disconcerting palates to a decor both classic and elegant. One of Rome's most acclaimed restaurants is Il Convivio, Vicolo dei Soldati 31 ([tel] 06-686-9432), attracting haut Roma to its 16th-century site near the Piazza Navona. Another chic, hot dining ticket is Il Chicco d'Uva, Corso Rinascimento 70 ([tel] 06-686-7983), also near the Piazza Navona, an emporium of refined Italian and international cuisine.
Florence-The landmark luxe hotel, Savoy, Piazza della Repubblica 7 ([tel] 055-27-351), has returned to give the Excelsior and Grand serious competition in luxury. After a long decline, the hotel has been completely restored.
THE NETHERLANDS-Amsterdam-Try out the new All Amsterdam Transport Pass, which allows unlimited travel for a day by Canal Bus, tram, bus, and metro.
NORWAY-Oslo-One of Oslo's newest large-scale hotels, First Hotel Millennium, Tollbugate 25 ([tel] 23-00-30-00), was successfully created from a 1930s Art Deco office building. Rising nine floors, with a stylish kind of minimalism, it's become an instant hit.
In a warehouse-like building, Restaurant Huset, Universitatsgata 26 ([tel] 22-41-36-33), has blossomed as the nightlife center of Oslo, with dance areas, dining rooms (one devoted to Cajun cookery), and discos, with enough bars to drown the navy.
Bergen-The hotel scene here has brightened considerably with the opening of the first-class First Hotel Marin, Rosenkrantzgaten 8 ([tel] 53-05-15-00), an elegant harbor front choice with more suites than any hotel in town. From fitness center to Turkish bath, it's amenity loaded.
PORTUGAL-Lisbon-Right in the heart of the city, the Orion Lisboa Hotel, 24 Praca dos Restauradores ([tel] 21-321-6600), has been formed from the old Eden Theater. Now you can rent an apartment at Lisbon's most central location. The restaurant of the hour, Notre, Edificio Nau, Marina Expo '98 ([tel] 21-893-1604), has reincarnated itself in its new location by Expo Marina. Its Portuguese/Continental cuisine is among Lisbon's noblest.
SCOTLAND-Edinburgh-The Caledonian Hilton Hotel, "The Caley," Princes St. ([tel] 0131/459-9988), one of Edinburgh's most enduring landmark hotels, has emerged anew under the Hilton umbrella. At first Edinburghers were shocked at the Americanization of this virtual monument, but they seem to be adjusting. For dining, the town's most excitement is generated by The Tower, Chambers St. ([tel] 0131/225-3003), set on the top floor of the Museum of Scotland. Some of Scotland's tastiest fare, especially seafood, is served at this chic new location.
SPAIN-Madrid-In the heart of Madrid, Errota Zar, Jovellanos 3 ([tel] 91-531-25-64), next to the House of Deputies, has emerged as a serious challenger to all other Basque restaurants.
SWEDEN-Stockholm-In Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm, Pontus in the Green House, Österlanggatan 17 ([tel] 08/23-85-00), in a building from the 16th century, is all the rage with its French, Swedish, and Asian fusion cuisine.
SWITZERLAND-Geneva-In Geneva, Bal-Esperance, 1 rue de la Vallée ([tel] 022/818-3737), is an accommodation oddity, set right near the landmark place du Bourg-de-Four. Once owned by the rawbone Salvation Army, it's been turned into a hotel of grace and charm.

Author Todd Gallagher's assertion (if you haven't read that, you really should -- it's a party) that essentially nobody can make change off the top of the backboard scared up a lot of talk.
In my inbox and the comments, there were countless claims of those who could allegedly do this feat -- including an assertion that a fair chunk of the Cuban national volleyball team was up to it.
Many suggest LeBron James could do it, even though in the story, Gallagher specifically asks James about it. (There is no reading skills requirement to comment on TrueHoop.)
Some pointed to video of people like the Arizona Cardinals' Adrian Wilson and other people jumping over 66" hurdles. But watch. There's a lot of leg-lifting to clear that height. Those guys aren't even getting their (literal) butts six feet in the air. They would have to have unbelievably long torsoes and arms to even reach the 12-and-a-half feet that Dwight Howard touched in the dunk contest, let alone the top of the backboard.
David Thorpe had a funny story. He had heard that Guillermo Diaz (rejoined the Clippers a couple of days ago) could do it, and he asked Guillermo about it. A smile spread across Diaz's face. Like a lot of players Gallagher has talked to claim to have done it. However, Thorpe saw Diaz get his hand within a couple of inches of the top of the backboard when Diaz was not in peak shape. Thorpe thinks it could be possible.
Almost every claim was second hand. In a rare exception, TrueHoop reader CM writes, as many of you have, about former Globetrotter Michael Wilson:
I have seen someone do it and you should be able to look it up. His name is Michael Wilson, he played for the University of Memphis. I couldn't find video of him doing it though. But during summer camp at the U. of M. about 20 people, including me, saw him take a dime, jump and put it on top of the backboard, then go back up and take it down.
Gallagher reacts to claims about Wilson and many others:
Everyone I talked to said Wilson couldn't do it and the Trotters said they'd look into it. After about 50 phone calls they said they didn't have any kind of evidence to support that he could do it.
I never was able to get in touch with him directly, so I can't say for certain.
However, hearing that he couldn't do it, combined with the lack of documentation from someone whose sole claim to fame is leaping was enough for me. He's too old now to test it out so that was about as far as I could go.
Also, if you look at his 12-foot dunk, it's off of an alley-oop and he's jumping as high as he can.
I saw in the comments section that someone thought I should have gone the route of getting an Olympic high jumper. That was actually my first move, but it didn't make the chapter. I spoke with Matt Hemingway who was the silver medalist in the 2004 Olympics in the high jump. He's also 6'7 which is tall for a high jumper.
He said he couldn't do it and didn't know anyone who could.
I should also note that almost everything in the comments, from Michael Wilson to Travis Outlaw was researched (Outlaw actually denied the story himself in an interview).
Still, it's possible I suppose there's someone in the world that can do it. My guess is if there was that there would be some kind of documentation though.
Also, I got a fascinating email from a reader named Dave, who says that at Amherst he saw a student video that included an interview with Earl "Goat" Manigault, shot not too long before the playground legend's death.
In the video, Manigault is said to have explained rumors about his own ability to "make change." He said it all started when he pulled a Dixie cup that had been stuck into a hole a few inches shy of the top of one of those metal New York City playground backboards. I would love to get video of that interview.
UPDATE: A few people have sent over this video. Could be the holy grail. Could be nothing. It's not very good quality, it's from kind of far away, and none of us can actually see the guy's hand hitting the bell that purports to be 13 feet in the air. Todd Gallagher's take:
I saw this and thought it looked pretty fake. The guy isn't even running hard and jumping high. James White is 6'7. He is an Olympic caliber high and long jumper, ran as hard and fast as he could and still didn't get there. This guy's taking two steps and, it looks like to me, barely getting over the hoop. I could be wrong I suppose, but it looks shady.

Pink Slip? Now, It's All in a Day's Work
Published: August 5, 2001
(Page 4 of 4)
Right has redesigned its offices to accommodate the new matter-of-factness about downsizing. Instead of the warren of enclosed offices and cubicles, where the downsized of the 90's kept to themselves in furtive pursuit of jobs, there are many more glass walls and open gathering places where the downsized of the 21st century get to know one another. ''They socialize, just as they had done in their jobs, and they even recreate office buzz,'' Ms. Eisenberg said. ''It took us a while to realize this had become important.''
Right has done an about-face on another score, too. When people lose a job, they often come into outplacement thinking that it is an opportunity to go out on their own, start a business, get control of their lives. In the mid-1990's, Right discouraged this alternative. Too many people who took this route failed, counselors warned -- better to get another corporate job.
The failure rate has not changed -- particularly in a weak economy -- but going out on one's own is now encouraged.
''That used to mean hanging out a shingle as a consultant or buying a franchise,'' Ms. Eisenberg said, explaining the turnabout. Neither was an easy road to success. ''Today when you go out on your own there is a broader array of choices, many of them made possible by the Internet. And people are more willing to create loose federations of consultants and share projects with each other.''
There is another, perhaps more basic reason for Right's reversal. ''The control issue has become huge,'' Ms. Eisenberg said. The gurus have been drumming into people the importance of marketing themselves, of being free agents in the work world. ''What you offer is You Inc., and after years of reading this, people believe it, or accept it.''
NOT everyone, however, is prepared to accept the new reality of corporate layoffs.
Steven A. Holthausen, for example, is still not reconciled. In 1990, as he returned from a vacation with his family, his boss called him in and abruptly laid him off, ending his career as a loan officer at $50,000 a year at a Connecticut bank.
That was not all. His wife left him. His children turned away. (They have since grown close to their father, more tolerant of the ups and downs of the job market.) He withdrew from his volunteer work in Westbrook, where he and his family had lived. Unable to find work in banking, he took low-paying jobs, even pumping gasoline for a while at a station owned by a man who had come to him for a loan. After a while, he managed to land a state job, at Connecticut's Office of Tourism, and to this day travelers along Interstate 95 encounter him behind the counter at one or another of the highway tourist centers.
The New York Times told Mr. Holthausen's story in 1996, part of a series entitled ''The Downsizing of America.'' Five years later, his pain has receded. His salary as a state employee has risen to $46,000. An uncle died and left him money. He has an Individual Retirement Account, and at 55 is much more at peace with the world. But one memory still angers him.
''I cannot believe the way they terminated me,'' Mr. Holthausen said. ''They said your job is eliminated and I found out they had turned my loan portfolio over to a 22-year-old earning half my salary.'' He said he did not have the nerve to protest.
Protest does not even occur to Ms. Davis in Cincinnati or to Mr. Goggins, whose experience at Brown Harriman was not all that different than Mr. Holthausen's.
''If you had talked to me a couple of months ago, you might have heard some outrage,'' Ms. Davis said. ''But now it is a matter of biting the bullet and going forward.''
That is one explanation. Ronald Blackwell, director of corporate affairs at the A.F.L.-C.I.O., offers an elaboration. ''What silences people,'' he said, ''is that they see no reason to expect anything different from employers.''

Lil' Wayne and Nicki Minaj were rumored to be dating in 2011.
During Nicki's stop at Nassau Coliseum in New York on March 27, 2011, Nicki Minaj tapped her inner dominatrix and gave her Young Money labelhead Lil Wayne a lap dance -- but not before giving him some strict orders.
"You got three rules: l...egs open, hands behind your back and mouth shut. Let's go," an asssertive Nicki told Wayne, who excitedly followed all the rules. After teasing the boss man with a choreographed routine to Sean Kingston's "Letting Go (Dutty Love)," Nicki went over to Wayne, half-way straddled him and popped her body in front of him while he happily looked on.
I'm a fan of you and your songs I think lil Wayne is cute and every video I see him in he has nerd glasses the best song from you....I have to think about that one from lil Wayne so far it's mirror,no worries love you!!!!!!!

Satis igitur declaratum est quod proprium opus humani generis totaliter accepti est actuare semper totam potentiam intellectus possibilis, per prius ad speculandum et secondario propter hoc ad operandum per suam extensionem. Et quia quemadmodum est in parte sic est in toto, et in homine particulari contingit quod sedendo et quiescendo prudentia et sapientia ipse perficitur, patet quod genus humanum in quiete sive tranquillitate pacis ad proprium suum opus…
Ex hiis ergo que declarata sunt patet per quod melius, ymo per quod optime genus humanum pertingit ad opus proprium; et per consequens visum est propinquissimum medium per quod itur in illud ad quod, velut in ultimum finem, omnia nostra opera ordinantur, quia est pax universalis, que pro principio rationum subsequentium supponatur. Quod erat necessarium, ut dictum fuit, velut signum prefixum in quod quicquid probandum est resolvatur tanquam in manifestissimam veritatem.
It has now been satisfactorily explained that the proper function of the human race, taken in the aggregate, is to actualize continually the entire capacity of the possible intellect, primarily in speculation, then, through its extension and for its sake, secondarily in action. And since it is true that whatever modifies a part modifies the whole, and that the individual man seated in quiet grows perfect in knowledge and wisdom, it is plain that amid the calm and tranquillity of peace the human race accomplishes most freely and easily its given work…
From these things which have been expounded we perceive through what better, nay, through what best means the human race may fulfill its proper office. Consequently we perceive the nearest way through which may be reached that universal peace toward which all our efforts are directed as their ultimate end, and which is to be assumed as the basic principle of subsequent reasoning. This principle was necessary, we have said, as a predetermined formula, into which, as into a most manifest truth, must be resolved all things needing to be proved.
–Dante Aligheri, De Monarchia lib i, cap iv, secs 1-7 (ca. 1311)(A.Henry transl. 1901)
Listen to Josquin des Prez's motet "Qui habitat" (ca. 1500) for twenty-four voices based on the text of Psalm 91. The visual shows a scene from Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, a reminder of Josquin's service there in the last days of the fifteenth century (before Michelangelo had begun his project). One sole work in Josquin's hand has survived from his day: it is a graffiti he drew on the walls of the Chapel, where it remains preserved to this day. But manuscripts of his masses, composed during his stay in the Vatican, are still in the Sistine Chapel's library.

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

text:
As recently as 2012, it appeared that Islamists could overcome their many internal dissimilarities – sectarian (Sunni, Shi'ite), political (monarchical, republican), tactical (political, violent), or attitudes toward modernity (Salafi, Muslim Brotherhood) – and cooperate. In Tunisia, for example, Salafis and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) types found common ground. Differences between all these groups were real but secondary, as I put it then, because "all Islamists pull in the same direction, toward the full and severe application of Islamic law (the Shari'a)."
Ali Khamene'i and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad in better times.
Islamist internecine hostilities have flared up in many other Muslim-majority countries. Sunni vs Shi'i tensions can be seen in Turkey vs Iran, also due to different approaches to Islamism; in Lebanon, where it's Sunni vs Shi'ite Islamists and Sunni Islamists vs the army; Sunni vs Shi'ite Islamists in Syria; Sunni vs Shi'ite Islamists in Iraq; Sunni Islamists vs Shi'ites in Egypt; and Houthis vs Salafis in Yemen.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Fethullah Gülen, once close allies.
Seemingly minor differences can take on a complex quality. Just try to follow a Beirut newspaper's arcane account of hostilities in the northern Lebanese town of Tripoli:
Clashes between the various Islamist groups in Tripoli, divided between the March 8 and March 14 political movements, are on the rise. ... Since the assassination of March 14 figure and intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan in October, disputes between Islamist groups in Tripoli have been heading toward a major conflagration, particularly following the killing of Sheikh Abdel-Razzaq Asmar, an official from the Islamic Tawhid Movement, just hours after Hasan's death. The sheikh was shot dead ... during an armed clash that erupted when supporters of Kanaan Naji, an independent Islamist figure associated with the National Islamist Gathering, attempted to take over the headquarters of the Islamic Tawhid Movement.
This pattern of fracturing brings to mind the 1950s divisions of pan-Arab nationalists. They aspired to unify all Arabic-speaking peoples, as the expression then went, "From the [Atlantic] ocean to the [Persian] gulf." However appealing the dream, its leaders fell out as the movement grew in power, dooming pan-Arab nationalism to the point that it eventually collapsed under the weight of kaleidoscopic and ever-more minute clashes. These included:
- Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt vs the Ba'th (or Baath) parties ruling in Syria and Iraq.
- The Syrian Ba'th party vs the Iraqi Ba'th party.
- The Sunni Syrian Ba'thists vs the Alawi Syrian Ba'thists
- The Jadidist Alawi Syrian Ba'thists vs the Assadist Alawi Syrian Ba'thists.
Omar al-Bashir and Hassan al-Turabi, also once close allies.
Reflecting deep Middle East patterns, dissension among Islamists likewise prevents them from working together. As the movement surges, as its members approach power and actually rule, its cracks become increasingly divisive. Rivalries papered over when Islamists languish in the opposition emerge when they wield power.
Should the fissiparous tendency hold, the Islamist movement is doomed, like fascism and communism, to be no more than a civilizational threat inflicting immense damage but never prevailing. This possible limit on Islamist power, which became visible only in 2013, offers grounds for optimism but not for complacency. Even if things look brighter than a year ago, trends can quickly turn around again. The long and difficult job of defeating Islamism remains ahead.

July 22, 2013 addendum: The 1950s subdivisions of pan-Arab nationalists recall a skit by American comedian Emo Philips (slightly adapted for reading):
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.
I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me."
"God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes."
"Me, too! Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian."
"Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant."
"Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist."
"Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist."
"Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist."
"Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region."
"Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879 or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912."
I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Oct. 3, 2013 update: I shall track further Islamist fracturing in a follow-up weblog entry, "Islamism in Disarray."
June 15, 2016 update: Moncef Marzouki, the president of Tunisia in 2011-14, has penned an analysis somewhat similar to mine above. The original appeared in Arabic at Aljazeera.net; I will quote from a MiddleEastEye.net abridgement and translation:
He begins by placing Islamism in the context of three other isms: nationalism, pan-Arabism and communism, all of which have declined. "Today, I am about to see the decline of a fourth wave, Islamism, after witnessing its launch in the early 1970s and reaching its peak in the late 1990s."
He notes the gaudy current Islamist achievements but dismisses them, recalling that "in the 1970s, the Soviet Union was seen as a power that will stay for the next thousand years" but, in fact, it "collapsed like cardboard, albeit gradually, but not many people foresaw it. That's exactly what is happening today with regards to the Islamist current."
As with the other movements, "awkward questions" are being asked: "Have you fulfilled all of your promises? Did you live up to the high hopes that were placed on you? In the end, what did you achieve?" He sees the symptoms of Islamism's failure as already evident:
Most Islamist parties lose their way and "mutate into right-wing parties looking for a place in power," without regard to morality or principle. Islamists "use an ideological cover for a tyranny that is ... repressive and corrupt." Marzouki calls most armed Islamist groups "the biggest contemporary disaster that the Arab and Muslim nations - and even Islam – are facing. ... Thanks to them, the whole world regard us as a nation that has nothing to add other than breeding terrorism. We are perceived as a threat to the rest of the world."

Jimmy McMillan: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton Made the Rent Too Damn High
Jimmy McMillan, of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, has decided not only to campaign against growing housing costs, but also against New York's very own Board of Elections. McMillan, probably our fave meme-making pol with leather gloves and a handlebar mustache, is demanding a recount of the 41,000 votes for his 2010 failed gubernatorial bid. But it's not just a vanity thing, McMillan tells Runnin' Scared. He needs to prove that he got 50,000 votes so that Rent Is Too Damn High gets official political party status -- and so that he can get his name on the ballot for the presidential election.
Of course McMillan plans on running against Barack Obama in November. McMillan, who refers to himself as "Daddy," chatted with us about his platform (the rent is still too damn high, Obama ruined everything).
Runnin' Scared: So why a presidential run?
Jimmy McMillan: I noticed that no one understands how critical of a condition this country is in. No one is talking about the real reasons. You must have a backup plan is what we're trying to teach everyone. None of the elected officials in the United States have a backup plan. They're lending money and giving money to corporations.

RS: Why haven't we heard more about your campaign sooner?
McMillan: I haven't participated in the caucuses and the debates yet because the only people they involve are a governor who only has 2 million people his state -- like Mitt Romney -- and some of the other governors. I know that New York is powerful enough to override them, so we can sit back and wait.
They told me from the very first debate on CNN that I wasn't qualified. They said they had not invited those who hadn't announced their candidacy already. This is what I'm up against: I'm up against a system, a country that needs to change its ways and so does the media! I guarantee you: if I ever stand on a debate with these guys right now, I'll blow them out of the box...
RS: What's your backup plan?
McMillan: Here's what the president must do. Here's what I will do: You must hold a special session of governors of all 50 states. These are the only ones who can create the jobs in the states in the coutnry to get America back on track. We must ask these governors to give them more resources to reduce the cost of living in this state. They want to raise the minimum wage -- how do you raise the minimum wage when businesses are laying people off because they can't afford to pay their Con-Edison bills, and water bills, and taxes? We have a broken system that needs to be reformed, and it doesn't just start with Jimmy McMillan running for president.
RS: Any specs?
McMillan: I'm going to get rid of all the elected officials in the state. They're not addressing constitutional rights. Every time I watch the debates, I grab a puke bucket -- I want to throw up. This is the time to change. Their ideas are all old. I want to remove all debt from the America people. This is the 14th Amendment, equal protection of the law. You protected the banks! And cruel and unusual punishment -- you took the people's money to get the banks out of debt.
RS: You think you could oust Obama?
McMillan: President Barack Obama, I like him, but he's a young man, a young man from Illinois with approximately 11 million people. But he wasn't prepared to run this country. Everyone says that George Bush screwed it up, he did not. Bill Clinton, he did not know how to run this country either. It's like a volcano, and in 2008 it exploded with Obama.
RS: What else should we know?
McMillan: I like talking to you because it's like talking to my child. It's like you're talking to Daddy, asking him a question.

So I was talking with my doctor yesterday about the kind of birth I'd like with this baby. She said that she strips membranes more than anything to induce labor. I guess what I'm looking for is opinions on this. My first two children were both fully fledged induced with pitocin and the whole 9 yards....so while this seems much less invasive I still feel like it's somewhat inducing What are you guys' thoughts, experiences. Does labor progress normally after this, or does this throw your body out of whack, cause problems etc?
Natural Childbirth--Stripping Membranes?
I could see it if your cervix was favourable and you were a couple weeks overdue. Otherwise I'm not sure why it would be done.
Sorry I don't know that was much help.
I'd wait till around your due date, and find out how much you are effaced and dialated! I walked around for 3 weeks with YDD being 80% effaced and 3 cent. dialated.

Breeding the next race of giants.
I have had my membranes stripped when I was 90% and 3 cm and I still did not go into labor on my own and was induced (at 41 weeks...) it does not always work but it is better than medication IMO. I would let midwife break my water this time before administering any medication if I go over 42 weeks.
I was stripped at 39 1/2 weeks with DD. I was 75% effaced, 3cm for several weeks w/ a soft cervix. I had also lost my mucus plug. DD was born the same day. I'm hoping it works for me again! .... if I have to use it.
Mommy to Aidan (7), Maylee (5), Megan (3), and Lauren the newbie (7/1/14)!
Yes, this would be around my due date if I decide to let her do it. I was just concerned about having it done, then labor starting...then stopping. I want to go without all the interventions I had with in the past. It sounds like I'll keep it open as an option when we get to that point. Thanks!
There is no reason to try to do anything to induce labor unless there is a medical necessity which would include some sort of emergency (pre-e, no fetal movement, etc) or if you are past your 42nd week of pregnancy.
Induction is induction is induction. There are no such things as "natural inductions". You are trying to speed nature. Your baby knows when he or she is ready for the world. When that time comes, he or she will release a hormone into yor bloodstream which will kick start labor. Trust in your body's ability and have faith in nature/god
It's just like with any other induction I think you are taking a risk of hoping it'll kick start your body. I think your best bet is lots of sex and nipple stimulation. Once I get about 38 weeks my hubby better watch out!
Sarah (22)CDing, BFing, APing,BWing mama to Amelia Elizabeth born via a 'natural cesarean' on 2/15/11
( o ) ( o )
Gold knockers and still going strong!
From what I've read, it's similar to getting pitocin, because you're trying to convince your body it's ready for labor when its not. Why would your doctor need to induce? The only conversation I've had about inducing with my midwife is that she will induce if I get to be past the two week point and would other wise have to deliver at a hospital. Inducing labor only slows things down. Trust that your body knows whats it doing.

angel baby 12/10/09 (12 weeks)
Dexter Cricket born Feb 8, 2011 at home
I was 41 weeks 2 days when my Midwife stripped my membranes. I was going absolutely nuts and needed to try something to get labor going. It worked for me. DS was home in my arms by 24 hours after I was stripped.
Momma to Miles Alexander (10/9/09) and Lennon Wyatt�(2/10/11)�Wifey to Jason Allen (married 5/3/08)
I have done it and would do it if I was overdue and looking at a medical induction. I would not do it on or before my due date. In fact - I would wait until I was pretty close to 42 weeks. There is a risk of membrane rupture and sometimes it just doesn't work.

Product Description
"...an excellent oculoplastic textbook with a well-covered overview of every aspect of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery. The good layout is complemented with clear illustrations and precise discussions. I will certainly treasure this...and will not hesitate to quote many of its excellent materials..."
―Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology
"What a great atlas! All the chapters not only demonstrate on how to obtain excellent results, advantages and disadvantages on illustrated problems are discussed, and various complications listed."
―European Journal of Plastic Surgery
What a great atlas. It is aimed at all specialists interested and involved in this fascinating and so important surgical field. It is also interesting for the patient ... But the medical student will also enjoy the original presentation and the abundance of colour illustrations."
―European Journal of Plastic Surgery (2004)
"This is a great book to have on the shelf in the office, or in the residents' clinic: a go-to book to navigate a new surgery or help diagnose a challenging lesion. Although it does give step-by-step directions, it is too large to slip into a briefcase. If you could have only one oculoplastic text, this one delivers a good, well-rounded perspective with practical guidance."
―Doody's Review Service
"The narrative in the book is simple, easy to understand and reflects the author's own practice in most areas. Brian Leatherbarrow is a well known and respected international authority in the field of oculoplastic, orbital and lacrimal surgery. This text book is not only a great asset to a practicing oculoplastic surgeon, but will also be useful to clinicians in other fields who have an interest in the face and periocular area like the plastic surgeons, dermatologists, neurosurgeons and ENT specialists."

Our clients have commented on our relaxed and professional approach during the time we spend together. We try to blend into the background as much as possible so you can still enjoy your wedding day without feeling like you are on a photoshoot.
I can be there from the very beginning, capturing those special getting ready shots – the first sip of the sneaky glass of bubbly to help those pre wedding nerves, the excited giggles of the bridesmaids getting ready, those happy tears from the mother of the bride.
On the wedding morning, we like to join in with the bridal preparations. We have found there are so many photo opportunities here – make-up application, hair styling, followed by the exciting moment of putting on the dress.
Let's not forget the groom – whilst I am busy photographing the bridal prep, my second photographer can be there to capture the Groom prep.
My second shooter and I can work together to ensure we are able to record both parties' getting ready shots. The proud mother helping her son put on his cufflinks, the nervous handshake between father and son, the laughter between Groom and Best Man as they share lines from the speech.
With the help of a second photographer, we like to cover different angles of your wedding ceremony.
We want to make sure we photograph the special moment when the Groom sees his bride for the first time, and when she first sees her groom. To do this, I will usually stand at the front of the room, whilst my second photographer will be at the back to ensure we can capture those moments!
After the "I do's" and the first kiss, we will photography the happy smiles and best wishes from your guests.
After the ceremony, we will be around to capture those informal and natural moments between the new husband and wife and their guests. This is also the perfect time for us to get those group shots – before the bar has been found!
We realise that everyone is there to enjoy themselves and to catch up with friends and family they may not have seen for some time, so we do like to work quickly and efficiently at this time.
Once you've enjoyed a glass or two of champagne with your guests, we will whisk you away to a place away from the crowds (if possible!) to create some truly amazing photographs. We keep this time as short as possible, so you have more time to enjoy the party!
As you will see from our gallery, we like to take a little time where it's just us so we can take some fantastic photographs of those first few moments as newlyweds. The poses will already have been discussed and practised during your pre-wedding photoshoot so they will all come naturally to you both!
The speeches are a perfect opportunity to capture everybody whilst they are relaxed and completely unaware they are having their photograph taken!
We're there, watching out for the reactions, tears and laughter shown during the speeches. People are completely unaware of being photographed during this time which allows us to capture the moments that help make your wedding day a memorable one.
The first dance – this is the perfect opportunity for us to capture the love as the newlyweds enjoy the special moment dancing to their special song.
We are often asked to stay to photograph the first dance as a married couple. We usually stay for a song or two after to also capture the funky dance moves you never knew your parents could do, to capture your brother or sister attempting to do the running man or the best man doing the Macarena. This also allows us a little time to sneak off to do a few after dark photographs should this be required.
What would you like for your wedding?
Hopefully we've given you an idea of how we work during a wedding day, but each wedding is unique and we will work with you to make sure we create the right package to suit your needs and personalities.

|form login page is not encoded when cookie is disabled
|Fri, 21 Sep 2001 08:39:56 GMT
I have the following problem when cookie (on my computer and per-session) is disabled. I'm using IE 5.5 and Tomcat 3.2.3. I set up a restricted area for URL pattern /user. Before I login, I go to http://localhost:8080/abc/user/index.jsp. Tomcat automatically forwards to the form login page http://localhost:8080/abc/login.jsp. In theory, after I login successfully, Tomcat will forward me to the original location, i.e. http://localhost:8080/abc/user/index.jsp. However, it doesn't happen that way in reality. Tomcat doesn't forward at all. The problem is that Tomcat doesn't URL rewrite the form login page, so the tomcat.auth.originalLocation is lost (null) when I reach the form login page - http://localhost:8080/abc/login.jsp. Am I correct on the explanation of the problem? If so, any resolution? If I'm wrong in anyway, please let me know. Thanks.

It was a lovely time. I enjoyed it a lot even though I'm not a big Zelda fan (went for the husband). All of the hard core fans seemed to be greatly tickled and very pleased.
I wish it had started less than 45 minutes late, but that is a minor concern.

Washi Tape Holder
Product Description
Crafters love collecting many types of washi decorative tape! Are you looking for a convenient way to store yours? If you're tired of rummaging through a jar or drawer to find the right roll, the Stamp-n-Storage Washi Tape Holder will provide you with nearly four feet of shelf space so that you can keep yours right at your fingertips. This product has the option of being wall-mounted too!
It's simple! Just thread your washi tape under the dowel, press it against the front edge of the shelf, and when you use it, you can quickly remove the roll from the holder. Or, another option is to pull out the end of your preferred color and cut it with a scissors for a smooth edge. You can also tear it off against the bottom of the shelf for a rough edge. We've even added a space below the bottom shelf where you can have a bonus storage area for your small items.

I searched a lot of places before I found a washi tape holder from Stamp 'n Storage. It is very sturdy and holds about 90 rolls of tape. I would highly recommend it.

Posted by Penny on 03 21 2016
I know I will like and and it holds a lot so that's nice only thing I don't like is wish it came with a ridged edge so you could just pull and tear not have to cut.
Posted by Lisa P on 03 10 2016
What a great way to display my Washi tape. Now I can easily see what I have AND remember I have it to use. The rolls stay snuggly behind the support dowels for easy dispensing. LOVE IT!
Organized, made easy

If you have as much Washi tape as me, you will say to yourself, " how did I ever live without this piece "? I can now see, each and every roll of tape, in one glance. Amazing
Love it, though a bit hard to load
Posted by Andrea on 10 29 2015
I had a somewhat similar system for wrangling washi tape from another manufacturer. It was OK, but the rolls were stored on rods, so if I wanted to take a roll to my desk, I had to pull the whole rod off. I saw this unit, and the "almost 4 feet" of storage excited me. Also, that you could pull just one roll off if you wanted, or cut/tear the tape while it was still in the unit. And all of that is true. I finally have room for my entire washi tape collection, with room to spare! The only problem I have found with it (and the reason I knocked one star off the rating) is that it was kind of difficult to load my tape rolls in it. I had to do a bit of "hand gymnastics" to get the "lead" piece of tape under the rod and stuck to the edge of each shelf. I even checked the photo in the catalogue again, to see if maybe I was doing it wrong. But I wasn't. And I don't think you can really just lay the tape in, without sticking it down like this, since there will be no way to keep it in place. Overall, I think this is a good unit. It is certainly well built, and I like not having to assemble it myself. But it would be even nicer if it were easier to load.

I just received and hung my new washi tape holder. Like all products I've received, this one is well made and easy to install. Now that I can see all my washi tapes, hopefully I will use them more often!

"Marc Siegel tries to reduce the hysteria quotient with a straightforward recitation of facts and statistics. Recalling the famous Orson Welles broadcast of "The War of the Worlds," Siegel tries all too sensibly (and one suspects futilely) to assess risk accurately and respond only to "plausible" threats such as the vulnerability of our container ships or "loose nukes" in former Soviet republics." (Benamin Barber, Los Angeles Times, August 7, 2005)

Fusion has it all, first and foremost great food. Everything I have tried here has been absolutely delicious, whether you love sushi or would prefer a thick steak fusion does not disappoint. Secondly the staff is exceptional, very friendly and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is cozy but modern, in a way only a good sushi cafe can be. I recommend Fusion for any date, or even a casual lunch or dinner with a friend. Enjoy!

I go here maybe once a year year but frankly I'm surprised that it survives because most of their stuff is makeable at home for cheap. If you're on the go and want something healthy and tasty this is a great option
They have 3 locations in Tally. Cool place to eat and have good staff to help 1st timers if needed. Food is tasty and anything from Grouper tacos, fried rice, stirfy, BBQ sandwich and THe best quesadillas and more.

The future of the "L" Word in SEO part 2: Content marketing, link earning and links
By Cem Ernaz | 30 November 2015 |
Back in February, in light of John Mueller's not-so-positive commentary on link building, I wrote that links and link building are not dead! Of course, the old SEO witchcraft that some still practice today has to end. However, I did insist that content-driven link earning is the way to go for a future-proof SEO strategy. We are approaching the last month of 2015 and a few recent opinion pieces from reputable SEO publications suggest that some of the shine of content marketing for SEO may have worn off. Let's revisit the subject by delving into one of the core articles.

The changing face of mobile search results
By Daniel Cody | 26 August 2015 |
Over the past few weeks, Google has made a number of changes to the appearance of the search results page for mobile users – technically and aesthetically – moving towards what they hope will be a better experience for users. Some of these changes are much more significant than others, but combined, they will undoubtedly change the way we focus our search marketing efforts.

Google's 'newsworthy' update
By Jake Ramon-Capon | 01 July 2015 |
For the second time in a month, we've seen Google update its core algorithm without making any official announcements. The first tweak, which was nicknamed the 'quality update' or 'phantom update', marked a change in how Google assesses content quality, whereas the most recent update (which went live on the 18th June 2015) has been dubbed as the 'newsworthy' update, or even the 'news-wave' update in some circles.

Want the secret to buying great wine?
My wine reviews include White wines with high scores for their superb quality and taste, and their prices often reflect this as they tend to be more expensive. These White wines achieve a score of 90 points or higher out of 100 and are often the wines that have the greatest aging ability and are therefore great White wines for your cellar. They are also often the top ranked wines on many lists, especially in fine restaurants, with ratings that reflect their craftsmanship. You'll also find my reviews of White wines that are less expensive, but still represent great value. This is just a small set of my wine reviews: when you join my wine community, you can access all of my reviews.
