DUBAI Iran will never shut down its Fordow uranium enrichment plant, a senior legislator was quoted as saying on Sunday, brushing off a demand from world powers who fear Tehran is working to develop an atomic weapons capability.
The Islamic republic, which insists its nuclear programme is purely peaceful, started building the plant inside a mountain in secret as early as 2006, to protect it from air strikes.
Last week, Reuters reported world powers were planning to offer to ease sanctions barring trade in gold and other precious metals with Iran in return for steps to shut down Fordow.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, referred to the reported offer on Sunday and dismissed any idea of a closure, the Iranian Students' News Agency reported.
"Fordow will never be shut down because ... our national duty is to be able to defend our nuclear and vital centres against an enemy threat," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying by the agency.
"This suggestion (shutting down Fordow) is meant to help the Zionist regime (Israel)," he added.
Israel has threatened to attack Iran if diplomacy and sanctions fail to curb its nuclear programme, raising fears of a regional war.
The United States and its allies are particularly worried about Fordow because Iran is refining uranium there to a fissile concentration of 20 percent, which Iran says it needs for a medical reactor. Twenty percent purity is only a short technical step from weapons-grade uranium.
Western officials said last week the offer to ease sanctions barring gold and other precious metals trade with Iran would be presented at February 26 talks between Iran and world powers in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
They acknowledged it represented a relatively modest update to proposals that the six major powers put forward last year.
Iran's parliament has little control over the Islamic Republic's foreign policy, which is decided by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Double Take 'Toons: Filibusted?
Senate Republicans are using the filibuster to block several of President Obama's judicial nominees, a move that seems inspired by opposition to Obama rather than a problem with his picks. R.J. Matson thinks the latest obstructionism echoes Ted Cruz's infamous filibuster, while earlier this year Christopher Weyant suggested that the judicial nomination process is always hellish.

text: Posted August 26, 2013 Interesting note in today's Observor article about Wharton: The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Wharton likely will play left guard, where he played almost exclusively during his Carolina tenure, next to left tackle Jordan Gross, his friend and neighbor. That would move second-year guard Amini Silatolu to the right side and could bump Garry Williams to a reserve role. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/25/4263508/carolina-panthers-boost-offensive.html#storylink=cpy Wonder if this is based on something from team sources or just pulled out of their ass...

Component-based approaches are becoming increasingly popular in the areas of adaptive distributed systems, Web services, and grid computing. In each case, the underlying infrastructure needs to address a deployment problem involving the placement of application components onto computational, data, and network resources across a wide-area environment subject to a variety of qualitative and quantitative constraints. In general, the deployment needs to also introduce auxiliary components (e.g., to compress/decompress data, or invoke GridFTP sessions to make data available at a remote site), and reuse preexisting components and data. To provide the flexibility required in the latter case, recently proposed systems such as Sekitei and Pegasus have proposed solutions that rely upon Al planning-based techniques. Although promising, the inherent complexity of Al planning and the fact that constraints governing component deployment often involve nonlinear and nonreversible functions have prevented such solutions from generating deployments in resource-constrained situations and achieving optimality in terms of overall resource usage or other cost metrics. We address both of these shortcomings in the context of the Sekitei system. Our extension relies upon information supplied by a domain expert, which classifies component behavior into a discrete set of levels. This discretization, often justified in practice, permits the planner to identify cost-optimal plans (whose quality improves with the level definitions) without restricting the form of the constraint functions. We describe the modified Sekitei algorithm, and characterize, using a media stream delivery application, its scaling behavior when generating optimal deployments for various network configurations.

I would give it 0 stars, if possible. My father and I were coming back from Harper's Ferry and decided to give this restaurant a try because we had a coupon. We live close to Leesburg and commented on how cute the downtown is, and on a non-100+ degree day, we were wanting to come back to explore. Therefore, we wanted to find a good restaurant that we could eat at when the weather was cooler for our wanderings. So, despite the fact that the restaurant was empty even at prime lunch hour, we went in. We were very uncomfortable being the only two in the restaurant as the (I am guessing owner or manager) waiter had no choice but to watch us...and watch us...I really felt like we were on display. We ordered our drinks, my father a coffee and me orange soda, which came fast, but my dad said the coffee was very bitter and the owner actually told us it was Kirkland (Costco) single serve packs. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Costco and its brand, but when you are paying $2+ for coffee in a restaurant, you want something non-mainstream and fun, something different, not something that you know is only costing them 5 cents a cup. Also, my soda was FLAT...the first time ever I have received flat, stale soda in a restaurant. The suspicious sound of a bottle opening altered me to this, and I saw our waiter opening a 2-liter bottle of soda that was almost empty, and had obviously been around for a long time. So this is why restaurants have soda machines! Then came the meals. My dad got the Chicken Marsala, which came with a side salad, and I got the Philly Cheese steak Wrap with the onion soup (it was French onion). His salad and my soup came out first. My soup was literally piping hot even when I was done with the rest of my meal--I enjoy items that are not, but not that hot! I had to put ice cubes in it to cool it down to try to start eating it after eating my wrap, and that just made it a watery mess. It was not good: the cheese, what little there was, was wrapped around maybe 3 croutons, and the onions were leathery and limp and lacked any flavor. After hearing about the Costco coffee, I seriously wondered if they got the soup from their frozen section, as well. My father's meal was one little piece of chicken that wasn't that good, bare amounts of sauce, and canned mushrooms. Then there must have been a whole pound of spaghetti on his plate. The sauce didn't cover nearly that much and it was so not worth it for the price; again, I have to wonder if the Marsala sauce was canned. My wrap was nothing special AT ALL; something I could have made, and I almost burned my kitchen down once. There was hardly any cheese on my CHEESE steak, the steak was decent but still reminded me of Steakums, and it fell apart as I tried to eat it. The french fries were obviously frozen as there was no texture and the insides didn't have that fluffy potato feel you get with fresh, cut-in-the-restaurant fries. We were very disappointed, especially when we saw the almost 40 dollar bill, the coupon only decreasing our hurt slightly. We will have to look elsewhere for our go-to Leesburg spot!

By Mr. Dan Lafontaine (RDECOM)August 11, 2011
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- U.S. Army engineering interns are using their expertise to boost student interest in science and technology.
College students working this summer here at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center are helping to design the Army's first recruiting project geared specifically toward civilian science and engineering positions.
Ryan Muzii, a mechanical engineering major at York College in Pennsylvania, has worked for ECBC's Advanced Design and Manufacturing group for the past two summers. He has always wanted to work for the military, he said.
"I'm involved in the design aspect. They give me a picture and say, 'Here, this is what we want. Make it work,' " Muzii said. "This is the first time I've had this type of work experience. I've never gone from concept to reality."
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Innovation Asset will be a modified tractor-trailer equipped with high-definition televisions and touchscreen computers. The Army will unveil the vehicle in January during All-American Bowl Week in San Antonio.
Teams of Army recruiters and subject matter experts will drive the vehicle across the United States to STEM education outreach events.
Muzii has worked on the design of the vehicle's interior doors, exterior and the area that will hold televisions, monitors and speakers.
Dan Colgan, a mechanical engineering major at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, helped design the exterior stairs and ceiling fill lights. He said he worked on four concepts for a fill light bracket before it worked correctly.
"It's nice to be able to design something and have it built on-site so we can troubleshoot it," Colgan said. "It's a lot more educational to be in a real-life scenario to design something, see how it doesn't work and fix it. It's nice to be on the leading edge of design and fabrication."
Muzii said the greatest challenge has been transferring engineering concepts into real-world solutions.
"It was a difficult struggle to try to get what the division wanted in real life. Some things we just couldn't possibly do," Muzii said. "We made it easier to manufacture."
"I've seen a lot of theory [at school]. When I came here, I see this is what we actually do and where I can apply myself. I actually do use what my professor says."

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A federal judge is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging a Kansas law restricting billboards for strip clubs and sex shops.
U.S. District Judge Julie A. Robinson scheduled a hearing Thursday afternoon in Topeka on whether to issue a temporary order barring the state from enforcing the law.
The statute takes effect July 1. It prohibits businesses such as strip clubs from having any outdoor advertising within a mile of a state highway.
The federal lawsuit was filed by Ohio-based Abilene Retail No. 30 Inc., which operates Lions Den Adult Superstore in Abilene.

VAIL � Fewer people in Eagle County started the foreclosure process in 2012 than in 2011. Still, more than 300 people lost their homes last year.
The latest figures from the Eagle County Public Trustees Office shows a significant drop � nearly 28 percent � in initial filings from 2011 to 2012. But there wasn�t a corresponding decrease in foreclosure sales, the final chapter in the process.
What those numbers say about the health of the local real estate market isn�t entirely clear. It can take months � sometimes a year or more � for a foreclosure case to run the gamut from initial filing, so many of the sales in 2012 actually started in 2011. Some, early in the year, could have started with initial filings in 2010.
But Laurie Slaughter, an area broker with Prudential Colorado Properties, said there could be a few reasons for the reduction in filings. The economy has stabilized a bit, a lot of people already have gone through foreclosures and others have decided to pursue �short sales� � that is, selling a home for less than is owed on the mortgage, with the permission of the lender.
While short sales have become more common, Slaughter said it�s still a tricky process to navigate. It�s also time-consuming.
�Most are getting approved, but you hear horror stories,� Slaughter said. �I�ve had some (sales) take up to seven months to get approved. I just had one approved within 30 days, but that�s rare.�
With the drop in property values in the Eagle County�s western valley, Slaughter said most of the transactions she�s handled have been either short sales or sales of bank-owned property.
But depending on the price, those units can move quickly.
Michael Routh is a broker with Keller Wlliams Realty�s Edwards office. He said units selling for $300,000 or less often receive multiple offers. Move up on the price scale, though, and �it�s still a buyer�s market,� Routh said.
But there are buyers out there.
Bob West of Hoffman - West Real Estate said some �distressed� property at the high end of the market has moved recently. And, West said, that part of the market may help the market as a whole.
�The big indicator is the high end,� West said. �Are (those buyers) confident in the market?�
While there were positive signs in the local market in 2012, the brokers interviewed agreed that it�s going to take some time for property values to start a real recovery.
Slaughter said there�s still a good amount of �shadow inventory,� homes that have been reclaimed by lenders, but aren�t yet on the market. Slaughter said she hears frequently from potential buyers who want to know if a particular property has been listed yet.
While home prices are starting to rise in Denver and other metropolitan areas, the Vail Valley has traditionally lagged behind trends in the rest of the country. Routh said the local real estate bubble burst long after the national crash came. The return to health may see a similar lag, he said.
�I�d expect us to be at least 18 months behind,� a national recovery, Routh said.
The shaky state of the economy, locally and nationally, may mean it may also take some time before the number of foreclosure sales falls significantly.
�It could be 2014 before we see a real drop,� Routh said.

% Flowcharting techniques for easy maintenance
% Author: Brent Longborough
% =================================================
% Set up a few colours
% -------------------------------------------------
% Set up a new layer for the debugging marks, and make sure it is on
% top
% A macro for marking coordinates (specific to the coordinate naming
% scheme used here). Swap the following 2 definitions to deactivate
% marks.
\node [nmark] at (c#2#1) {#2};
% -------------------------------------------------
% Start the picture
>=triangle 60, % Nice arrows; your taste may be different
start chain=going below, % General flow is top-to-bottom
node distance=6mm and 60mm, % Global setup of box spacing
every join/.style={norm}, % Default linetype for connecting boxes
% -------------------------------------------------
% A few box styles
% <on chain> *and* <on grid> reduce the need for manual relative
% positioning of nodes
base/.style={draw, on chain, on grid, align=center, minimum height=4ex},
proc/.style={base, rectangle, text width=8em},
test/.style={base, diamond, aspect=2, text width=5em},
term/.style={proc, rounded corners},
% coord node style is used for placing corners of connecting lines
coord/.style={coordinate, on chain, on grid, node distance=6mm and 25mm},
% nmark node style is used for coordinate debugging marks
nmark/.style={draw, cyan, circle, font={\sffamily\bfseries}},
% -------------------------------------------------
% Connector line styles for different parts of the diagram
norm/.style={->, draw, lcnorm},
free/.style={->, draw, lcfree},
cong/.style={->, draw, lccong},
% -------------------------------------------------
% Start by placing the nodes
\node [proc, densely dotted, it] (p0) {New trigger message thread};
% Use join to connect a node to the previous one
\node [term, join] {Trigger scheduler};
\node [proc, join] (p1) {Get quota $k > 1$};
\node [proc, join] {Open queue};
\node [proc, join] {Dispatch message};
\node [test, join] (t1) {Got msg?};
% No join for exits from test nodes - connections have more complex
% requirements
% We continue until all the blocks are positioned
\node [proc] (p2) {$k \mathbin{{-}{=}} 1$};
\node [proc, join] (p3) {Dispatch message};
\node [test, join] (t2) {Got msg?};
\node [test] (t3) {Capacity?};
\node [test] (t4) {$k \mathbin{{-}{=}} 1$};
% We position the next block explicitly as the first block in the
% second column. The chain 'comes along with us'. The distance
% between columns has already been defined, so we don't need to
% specify it.
\node [proc, fill=lcfree!25, right=of p1] (p4) {Reset congestion};
\node [proc, join=by free] {Set \textsc{mq} wait flag};
\node [proc, join=by free] (p5) {Dispatch message};
\node [test, join=by free] (t5) {Got msg?};
\node [test] (t6) {Capacity?};
% Some more nodes specifically positioned (we could have avoided this,
% but try it and you'll see the result is ugly).
\node [test] (t7) [right=of t2] {$k \mathbin{{-}{=}} 1$};
\node [proc, fill=lccong!25, right=of t3] (p8) {Set congestion};
\node [proc, join=by cong, right=of t4] (p9) {Close queue};
\node [term, join] (p10) {Exit trigger message thread};
% -------------------------------------------------
% Now we place the coordinate nodes for the connectors with angles, or
% with annotations. We also mark them for debugging.
\node [coord, right=of t1] (c1) {}; \cmark{1}
\node [coord, right=of t3] (c3) {}; \cmark{3}
\node [coord, right=of t6] (c6) {}; \cmark{6}
\node [coord, right=of t7] (c7) {}; \cmark{7}
\node [coord, left=of t4] (c4) {}; \cmark{4}
\node [coord, right=of t4] (c4r) {}; \cmark[r]{4}
\node [coord, left=of t7] (c5) {}; \cmark{5}
% -------------------------------------------------
% A couple of boxes have annotations
\node [above=0mm of p4, it] {(Queue was empty)};
\node [above=0mm of p8, it] {(Queue was not empty)};
% -------------------------------------------------
% All the other connections come out of tests and need annotating
% First, the straight north-south connections. In each case, we first
% draw a path with a (consistently positioned) annotation node, then
% we draw the arrow itself.
\path (t1.south) to node [near start, xshift=1em] {$y$} (p2);
\draw [*->,lcnorm] (t1.south) -- (p2);
\path (t2.south) to node [near start, xshift=1em] {$y$} (t3);
\draw [*->,lcnorm] (t2.south) -- (t3);
\path (t3.south) to node [near start, xshift=1em] {$y$} (t4);
\draw [*->,lcnorm] (t3.south) -- (t4);
\path (t5.south) to node [near start, xshift=1em] {$y$} (t6);
\draw [*->,lcfree] (t5.south) -- (t6);
\path (t6.south) to node [near start, xshift=1em] {$y$} (t7);
\draw [*->,lcfree] (t6.south) -- (t7);
% -------------------------------------------------
% Now the straight east-west connections. To provide consistent
% positioning of the test exit annotations, we have positioned
% coordinates for the vertical part of the connectors. The annotation
% text is positioned on a path to the coordinate, and then the whole
% connector is drawn to its destination box.
\path (t3.east) to node [near start, yshift=1em] {$n$} (c3);
\draw [o->,lccong] (t3.east) -- (p8);
\path (t4.east) to node [yshift=-1em] {$k \leq 0$} (c4r);
\draw [o->,lcnorm] (t4.east) -- (p9);
% -------------------------------------------------
% Finally, the twisty connectors. Again, we place the annotation
% first, then draw the connector
\path (t1.east) to node [near start, yshift=1em] {$n$} (c1);
\draw [o->,lcfree] (t1.east) -- (c1) |- (p4);
\path (t2.east) -| node [very near start, yshift=1em] {$n$} (c1);
\draw [o->,lcfree] (t2.east) -| (c1);
\path (t4.west) to node [yshift=-1em] {$k>0$} (c4);

% Set up a few colours
What are Green3, Blue3 or Red3?
I'm really sorry for the delay in answering; I've only just seen your question.
They are predefined colour names from the xcolors package, with the [x11names] option (here passed to xcolor from the document class).
The manual is at http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/xcolor.pdf , or in your TeX distro.
Look for section 4.4: 'Colors via x11names option' [sic]

The Mistreated
The lonely, the forgotten, the abused: the Mistreated of Comicdom. These are the characters that just can't catch a break.
The lonely, the forgotten, the abused: the Mistreated of Comicdom. These are the characters that just can't catch a break.
I wrote an entire blog on her a while back, and how savagely she's been mistreated. Backtrack her a bit, recreate the implacable electrical maniac that she was and stop using her as a punching bag. Dammit, DC.
The ability to outwit the Bat, create enormous deathtraps and amazing riddles and tricks, cheats like no other, incredible detective and creative mind... and yet you'll never even see him on a Top 10 list. The amount of writers who have done the Riddler justice can be counted on one hand.
Bleez's capabilities are few and far between, and have to be searched for in between her getting roughed up by those who shouldn't be able to. Let's see her show what she can do. Beat the snot out of a few Lanterns and reclaim her place as a top-tier RL.
How hard would it be to give this poor guy a badass moment, just now and again? Every once in a rare while he'll come up with some plot device serum or get a new transformation, but he's been horribly misused. He could be one of the most influential and gentle minds on the X-world and if he applied himself, could assuredly shift the direction that entire section of the Marvel U is headed in.
As we've seen in various cartoons and games, Killer Frost can have a ton of sass, attitude, and personality, while simultaneously being a completely ruthless and heartless villain. Now she looks like Rule 63 Iceman....
Sure he's cool, and his reputation precedes him. But as far as actual appearances go, that's all he's got... his reputation. He's a great character but needs a chance to really show what he's capable of.
She was fun for a little while in Secret Six, but again, didn't get the chance she needed to show her stuff. We need to see her really show her centuries of experience, her combat ability, more of her healing factor, or even her computer/language skills. Hell, a solo detective title starring her could actually be a ton of fun -- decoding ancient languages and hacking into high-tech vaults, all in between binge-drinking and one-night stands.
Great when she existed. Now we'll never see her again and the reboot came before she really got an opportunity to shine and form a fanbase.
See Misfit.
Man, Ragman is cool as hell. Yet with Shadowpact he's always the underdog, in a position where he is the least useful until a situation arises that specifically requires him. Give him a lower-powered team to be on and let him shine.
Why the hell have we not seen World War Alice yet? The Justice League trying to somehow contain her when she robs powers from Wonder Woman/Zatanna/whoever, possibly causing a catastrophe that way. Alternatively, her hormonal rage and immense power could cause her to go on some kind of destructive rampage... in any case, it would end up being an entire DC event as the world tries to bring Lori down.
He needs to show what he can do. Hack the Batcomputer or the Watchtower. Take control of Cyborg. Get Brainiac on a leash. Something.
For being one of the coolest Green Lanterns (in my humble opinion) she sure doesn't get much love from the writers.

2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty Regular Cab 2dr Regular Cab XL Rwd LB (5.4L 8cyl 6M)
I bought this truck new before moving from TX to NY, and for long distance driving with a trailer this truck was fantastic. The 5.4 V8 is adequate but could be stronger. At 22k I had to have a front bearing replaced due to water incursion, and while backing out of an icy driveway spinning tires, the xmsn had an internal failure that holed the xmsn case, and so at 27k back to Ford for warranty service again. I'm afraid of further problems when the warranty runs out so I've decided to trade the truck in. Overall, this is a top-notch hauling vehicle and great to drive on the long roads, but if you expect to use it for serious farm work or anything off pavement, you'll be disappointed.
16k lb towing cap, comfortable for long hauls, feels very safe, sounds beastly with Magnaflow exhaust, minimal road noise, heater and a/c are fantastic, handling is great once suspension is broken in, spacious cab, mirrors are terrific for rear visibility, headlights are long- reaching and bright.
Factory contitrac tires are poor, and shred easily driving off pvmnt, bearings are short-lived, transmission is weak and inadequate, suspension when new is jittery and prone to sideslip while cornering on bumpy road, gas mileage after 10k miles went from 14 mpg to about 11-12 mpg, mirrors need heat.

Golden Chickpea and Potato Curry
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 1 hr
This is based on a mild vegetarian curry I found online several years ago on a Seventh-Day Adventist website. I have also prepared it by adding an 8-ounce package of diced, baked tofu. It is excellent served either by itself or on a bed of cooked brown rice. It also can be prepared ahead of time, as the flavors improve if allowed to blend overnight.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups onions, finely chopped
- 4 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 (16 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained
- 6 cups potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1⁄4 cup tomato paste
- 3 cups water or 3 cups vegetable broth
- In frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and saute onions about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, cumin, garlic, salt and 1/4 cup water. Cook until onions are soft. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Additional liquid may be required to prevent scorching. Serve on top of steamed white rice or brown rice.
Most Helpful
Wow that's good. I made half a batch with water (vs. veggie stock) and left out the salt (family preference). Served over brown rice as suggested, with plain, fat free yougart on the side which we mixed in. Y-U-M. I bet the leftovers will be even better too. Will DEFINITELY be making this again...can totally see adding some chicken too, though it was hearty enough without it. Thanks for posting this!!!
DELISH! Made this last night, and even the not-into-vegetarian spouse loved it. I added carrots, because we have a bunch from going to the produce market, and used Penzy's maharajah curry powder. I like hotter Indian food than my spouse, so would probably add some zippy chilies next time. Try it with Super Easy Naan, #350443!
This is easy to make and is very mild. The flavors were very good. I used water and omitted the salt (personal preference). I made the night before, as recommended, and served over rice. Thanks for sharing!

Will Asia Turn Against the West?
By Fareed Zakaria
Published: July 10, 1998
The fire raging in East Asia today jeopardizes one of the central achievements of postwar American foreign policy -- the stabilization and growth of East Asia. Even more dangerously, if it continues to fester, this crisis could undermine support for an open global economy and economic and political liberalization across the world.
The facts are bleak. In the last two years Indonesia's economy has shrunk by almost 80 percent, Thailand's by 50 percent, South Korea's by 45 percent, Malaysia's by 25 percent. Even islands of prosperity like Hong Kong and Singapore are in deepening recessions. Currencies and stock markets have plunged to unimaginable lows; unemployment and poverty are climbing to new highs.
To take the worst example, Indonesia's per capita gross domestic product has dropped from $3,500 to less than $750, wiping out 25 years of economic progress. Some 100 million people -- almost half of that vast country -- have sunk below the poverty level, and fears of a famine are growing. President B. J. Habibie has called on his citizens to fast twice a week to lessen the need to import food. Japan, the only nation that could spur a new round of growth in the region, has now slipped firmly into its second recession in five years.
The Clinton Administration and the International Monetary Fund had an initial strategy to deal with what began as a financial crisis in Thailand in June 1997. First, they assumed it would be temporary, ''a few small glitches along the road'' in President Clinton's words. Second, they assumed it would be localized. Third, they assumed that the I.M.F. would restore stability.
All three assumptions have been proved wrong. The I.M.F.'s prescriptions have not worked; currencies and stock markets continue to fall. The panic is now a depression and has spread beyond East Asia. Markets as large as Russia and Australia and as distant as Mexico and South Africa have been battered.
If official responses have been inadequate, the reactions of American foreign policy pundits to the crisis have been worse. Much of this commentary has been to note gleefully that Asia's troubles confirm the virtues of the American system and the bankruptcy of ''Asian values.''
In the late 1940's, as Europe struggled to cope with similar economic hardships, George Marshall warned Americans that ''the patient is sinking as the doctors deliberate.'' Today it is as if the doctors are vivisecting the patient to score points about anatomy.
The prosperity and stability of East Asia are -- were? -- extraordinary achievements. Thirty years ago, most of these countries seemed stuck in the dismal poverty that afflicted the third world, and the region was the most troubled part of the globe.
In Indonesia, more than 300,000 people had died in mob riots after a failed Communist-backed military coup in 1965. Malaysia, in civil war from 1948, lifted its state of emergency only in 1960. China, Taiwan and the Koreas had all been through grueling conflicts in the late 1940's and 1950's. And the Vietnam War was still in full fury.
One generation later, most of these nations had dramatically raised their living standards, substantially alleviating poverty and disease. Many, like Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia, had begun liberalizing their politics as well. It was the fastest move out of misery in history.
The success of the region owes much to the hard work of its people but also to American foreign policy. The United States fought two wars after 1945 to maintain stability in East Asia. It advocated economic and foreign policies that were adopted in much of the region.
Compared with countries like Brazil, Egypt and India -- whose protectionism and central planning were cheered on by socialist governments and left-wing economists -- East Asian regimes adopted policies that were broadly hospitable to free markets and free trade. They opened themselves up to foreign investment and multinational corporations and allowed the private sector to flourish. Throughout the cold war they were consistently anti-Soviet, banding together to form the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, practically the only pro-American regional grouping in the world outside of NATO. For these policies they became the pariahs of the third world, often branded as American stooges.
In fact the growth and stability of East Asia have been a central achievement of American foreign policy in the post-war era, a living refutation of once fashionable theories about American neo-imperialism, third-world dependence and the necessity for socialism in poor countries.
All this is at risk today. If East Asia does not begin to recover soon, the dangers to its own well-being are obvious, but those to regional stability and American interests are also great. South Korea's growing weakness makes that peninsula even more unstable than it already was (and with 36,000 American troops stationed there, any internal problem will quickly become an international one). Indonesia, a geographic absurdity comprising 2,000 islands and 1,100 dialects, could easily lapse into violence and begin splintering.

Indian magnates with oodles of rupees turn Spyker in to the top team having recruited two engineers - one from Ferrari and one from Mclaren. Mclaren are banned from F1 because the 1/4" UNF nuts on their front suspension are the same as used by Ferrari so Hamilton removes McLaren nappies and moves to Spyker - with Kartakayan as 2nd driver. Ron Dennis has an operation on his tear ducts. Jason Button buys a turkey farm in Kent. Ros Braun returns to Ferrari and congratulates Jean Todt on a job well done. Prodrive win the constructors championship............Remember Murray Walker - "Anything can happen in Formula One and usually does"
Mick, I think you and I have been watching Formula One for too long.

Choosing a dealership for your repair gives you access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. At Crown Honda of Southpoint we make sure that you always have the best equipment for your vehicle, and we only use OEM parts. Other auto shops may use aftermarket vehicles that might not be the ideal fit for your vehicle's setup.

Since aftermarket parts are designed to work in a variety of vehicles, they aren't always the best match for your vehicle. By choosing to install only OEM parts, you can avoid the possibility of an inferior component getting installed in your vehicle. This can improve the overall reliability, and it can also have a positive impact on the vehicle's resale value. In fact, many leasing companies will penalize you for getting a repair using an aftermarket part.

US: Retailers' October 2011 sales roundup
By Leonie Barrie | 3 November 2011
The following is a general roundup of US apparel and shoe retailers' October 2011 sales results.
Action sportswear and footwear retailer Zumiez Inc has posted an 11.1% rise in total sales for the four weeks to 29 October, climbing to $34.9m from $31.4m in the same period last year. Same-store sales were up 3.3% according to the company, which operates 432 stores.
Stage Stores Inc meanwhile saw its total sales edge up 1.9% to $102m, from $100m last year. Comparable store sales rose by 0.8%, with gains in its children's, footwear, juniors, petites, plus sizes and young men's merchandise categories. The company operates stores under the Bealls, Goody's, Palais Royal, Peebles, Stage and Steele's names.
At value-priced fashion retailer The Cato Corporation, which operates the Cato, Versona and It's Fashion divisions, sales fell 2% to $62.7m from $64.3m a year earlier. Same-store sales were also down, dropping by 3%.
Teen clothier Wet Seal Inc said its October sales were well below expectations at the Wet Seal and Arden B chains after it decided not to stock Halloween costumes and related merchandise this year. Its expanded sportswear assortment didn't make up the difference, it said. Net sales fell 5.5% to $40.5m. Same-store sales dropped 9.7%, with a decline of 9.9% at its Wet Seal stores and a fall of 8.6% at Arden B.
Specialty clothing retailer Gap Inc also booked a drop in October same-store sales, with a 6% decline due to a mixed performance across its brands. By division, same-store sales fell 5% at Gap North America, rose 1% at Banana Republic North America, and declined 9% at Old Navy North America. Its international sales dropped 7%. Net sales for the four-weeks to 29 October were down 4% to $1.14bn compared with $1.19bn in the same period last year.
Sales improved marginally at Stein Mart Inc, with total sales edging up 0.2% to $85.7m from $85.5m and comparable store sales up 0.1%. Linens, men's furnishings and accessories saw strong sales in the month, while boutique, career sportswear and gifts were weaker, the company said.
Limited Brands Inc, operator of the Victoria's Secret and La Senza chains, posted a rise of 5.7% in its net sales, which climbed to $652.4m for the four weeks to 29 October. Comparable store sales increased 6%.
Nordstrom Inc meanwhile, reported a 13.3% jump in total retail sales, up to $749m from $662m last time. Same-store sales rose 5.4%.
October same-store sales were ahead of expectations at off-price retailer Ross Stores Inc, which also saw total revenues increase 10% to $661m, up from $600m a year ago. Comparable store sales grew 5%. Juniors and shoes were the strongest merchandise categories.
Denim specialist The Buckle Inc saw its net sales rise 12.1% to $79.7m. Same-store sales at stores open at least one year were up 8.7%.
But department store operator The Bon-Ton Stores Inc was "disappointed" with its October sales results, which saw total revenues fall to $192m, down 10.4% on last year's $214.2m. Same-store sales dropped 10.2%. A poor response to its advertising, lacklustre sales of traditional merchandise in ladies' ready-to-wear, and consumer resistance to increased pricing were to blame, it said.
Saks Incorporated, which operates the Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks Off 5th stores, reported a 0.8% rise in sales to $235.7m from $233.9m last time. Comparable store sales edged up 1.8%. The strongest categories included women's contemporary sportswear and Wear Now (bridge) apparel, men's clothing and contemporary apparel, men's shoes, and handbags.
Revenues rose 6% at Dillard's Inc to $377.97m, up from $356.10m last year. Same-store sales increased 8% in the four weeks of October.
And growth continued at Macy's Inc, where total sales rose 2% to $1.84bn, compared with $1.81bn the year before. On a same-store basis, sales were up 2.2%. October growth was impacted by the shift of Macy's popular Shop For A Cause event from October last year into August this year.
At off-price retailer The TJX Companies Inc, sales for the four-week period climbed to $1.9bn, a rise of 4% over last year's $1.8bn. Same-store sales increased by 3% over last year, and came in at the high end of expectations despite unseasonably warm weather in some regions.
Department store operator Kohl's Corporation saw its October sales rose 5.6% to $1.33bn, from $1.26bn a year earlier. Comparable store sales were up 3.9%. The company, which operates 1,127 stores, said shoppers have "responded favourably" to its new Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony brands.
But total sales at JC Penney Company Inc were down in the month, dropping 6.6% to $1.19bn from $1.27bn, with same-store sales falling 2.6%. While sales overall were soft, women's apparel and accessories experienced sales gains in October, it said.
Target Corporation, meanwhile, said its net retail sales rose 4.3% to $4.84bn from $4.64bn a year ago, and comparable-store sales increased 3.3%.

Prince William impressed spectators with his polo skills, leading his
team to victory in a match at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet
It was a rare, unscripted event in a heavily choreographed first trip for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as newlyweds, to the United States.
William starred for his team, scoring four goals.
The crowd rushed onto the field at the end of the match despite an announcer's plea for them to return their seats. Security personnel used a line of rope to contain people.
After decorum was restored, William's wife, the former Kate Middleton, presented each competitor a blue Tiffany & Co. box with
a white ribbon, and a big silver trophy to her husband's team.
The last player to the podium was William. When the crowd
yelled, "Kiss!," Kate obliged and gave him a slight embrace and a
kiss on each cheek.
Saturday night, the couple was to attend a black-tie event organized by
the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

BA (Hons) Arabic Studies
Allows students to achieve near-native proficiency in modern Arabic and to study the language within its cultural and historical context. Students start as absolute beginners and go through to an advanced level over four years.
- The course also looks more widely at Arab culture and literature and introduces students to social and cultural trends in the Arab Middle East and beyond.
- The course is carefully structured so that students can measure their progress step by step. Learning modern Arabic also opens the door to the vast literature of classical Arabic, including religious and secular texts, and provides a perfect platform from which to learn one or more of the colloquial dialects.
- The third year of study is spent at an academic institution in an Arab country, an ideal way to improve students' fluency in the language while gaining a fascinating first hand experience of the Arab world.
Course includes:
- Modern Arabic language courses: Gain competence in reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension, while developing knowledge and understanding of the Arab World..
- Arabic-based thematic courses: Study documents which introduce you to the cultures of the medieval Arab World; read contemporary literature reflecting life and social trends in modern Arab countries.
A choice from a wide variety of options to focus on your special interests or to extend your studies to other disciplines open within the University such as linguistics, history, archaeology or the social sciences.
Flexible Honours may allow you to study an additional arts, languages or cultures subject. Find out more here .
