President Bush and Condoleezza Rice appear to be flailing for their legacy. They might turn no farther than imprisoned Libyan dissident Fathi El-Jahmi.On March 12, 2004, Bush declared: Earlier today, the Libyan government released Fathi Jahmi. [He's] a local government official who was imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free speech and democracy. It's an encouraging step toward reform in Libya.But Bush remained silent when Qadhafi re-arrested Jahmi two weeks later.According to a press release from Amnesty International: Prisoner of conscience Fathi el-Jahmi is being denied adequate medical treatment for his diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. His health is deteriorating, and without proper treatment his life may be in grave danger. Bush will be remembered throughout the Arab world for his abandonment of freedom-seekers rather than his enabling of them. More...

WASHINGTON — Some presidents fret and fuss more than others about how their presidencies end and how history will judge them.

American troops came charging into Iraq four years ago anxious to spread the benefits of democracy to the benighted inhabitants of that far off land.

Mossa'ei Shabbath Parshath Bo 5768Of course, I picked Thurs. to visit a friend in the German Colony (You know, that annoying Leftist neighborhood, I can't stand, where everyone, including the waiter who obviously just had a very nasty fight his hair clippers, wants to speak English to you automatically, without even determining whether you can speak Hebrew or not.). Needless to say, I am almost never there. What can I say? He offered to buy me coffee. I ain't got no job; ain't go no money. So, I went,...to see my friend, not just for the free coffee.Coming back from the German Colony, because of the traffic, roadblocks, and detours, it took me almost an hour to get to French Hill on the #4 Bus. The trip should only take 25 min. at most. Several of my fellow passengers were chattering away about Bush's visit causing all this traffic, oh yeah, and to force us to give away much of Israel, too. The #4 Bus by the way, connects mostly only liberal and secular neighborhoods, like Malh
Assassinated ex-premier of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was a victim of her own legacy, according to noted author William Dalrymple. During Benazir’s regime, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan had installed the Taliban in Afghanistan and a large number of young Islamic militants were recruited to carry out ISI’s "dirty work in Kashmir", Dalrymple writes in the New York Times. These Islamist militant groups that flourished under the Benazir Administrations in the 1980s and 1990s contributed to her assassination, according to Dalrymple. Writing in the New York Times, he said that though "the recruitment of jihadists had started before she took office," but it would be "naïve to believe" that Benazir had no influence over Pakistan’s foreign policy toward its two most important neighbours, India and Afghanistan. Benazir’s death was, of course a calamity, particularly as she had "embodied the hopes" of so many l

THE YEAR 2007 marks the 65th anniversary of a bold experiment: the launch of the Little Golden Books during the dark days of World War II. At a time when the literacy rate was not nearly as high as it is now - and privation was felt by nearly all - quality books for children would now be available at a price nearly everyone could afford (25 cents), and sold where ordinary people shopped. Golden Legacy is a lively history of a company, a line of books, the groundbreaking writers and artists who created them, the clever mavericks who marketed and sold them, and the cultural landscape that surrounded them.

After all the carefully choreographed hype around Led Zeppelin’s recent gig at London's 02 Arena, I got to thinking about the low level of popular culture under the Blair regime. Whilst far from scientific, a useful benchmarks I have found over the years when judging whether a government is progressive or radical, is to take a look at the cultural output during its period in office. For example the first years of revolutionary Russia saw some of the finest poetry, poster design, music and writing of the 20th Century. However once the Bolsheviks locked down Soviet Russia and Stalinist rule took hold, the arts despite being heavily subsidized, as far as innovative work was concerned withered and died. Two of the Soviet Union’s and the worlds finest writers Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and Boris Pasternak were two amongst many who had their work banned in their homeland, which would be an anathema for any artist. The great composer Dmitri Shostakovich was forced by bureaucratic and polit

TITLE: The Sharing Knife Vol.2: LegacyAUTHOR: Lois McMaster BujoldCOPYRIGHT: 2007PAGES: 377PUBLISHER: EosSETTING: Lakewalker territory, mostly (i.e. made-up place!)TYPE: Fantasy romanceSERIES: Comes after The Sharing Knife Vol. 1: Beguilement, and it's not so much a sequel, as the second half of a long book. I would definitely recommend reading Vol. 1 before you even think of picking up this one. In fact, better don't even read the summary below before reading Beguilement, because it will spoil it for you. Just go read the review of the first book, if you want to know if this whole story is for you.REASON FOR READING: I loved Beguilement and I wanted to know how things turned out. Fawn Bluefield, the clever young farmer girl, and Dag Redwing Hickory, the seasoned Lakewalker soldier-sorcerer, have been married all of two hours when they depart her family's farm for Dag's home at Hickory Lake Camp. Having gained a hesitant acceptance from Fawn's family for their unlikely marriage, the co
My British upbringing is dying to call these things trainers but I'm just going to go with my wonderful cousins name for them. So, Run Athletics and Nintendo have teamed up to create these Mario Bros. inspired snazzy pair of sneakers (I should be shot for even using the word 'snazzy').The sneakers feature a Mario Bros. 'M' emblazoned on the tongue and a Power Star motif on the side. There's no word on the price but an upcoming launch party at New York's Nintendo World store (September 25th) will most likely reveal the details.I've never really been a fan of video game sneakers - possibly because we don't see them very often - but I have to admit these are pretty cool. Since the tongue will most likely be covered by whatever jeans/trousers you're wearing, however, I doubt many people would notice that they're Mario inspired. I guess I'll just stick to video game t-shirts - even though I don't currently own any because I suck.UPDATE: I've just been notified that they'll be priced $120 a
I really hadn't planned to say anything about Steve Fossett, but my ol' buddy J.D. Mullane in the Bucks County Courier Times forced my hand here.For the benefit of anyone who has been living under a rock for about the last week or so (and don't worry, I almost qualify myself for that one based on my limited exposure to stories like this), Fossett made his fortune in the financial services industry, and then apparently some time around the mid-'90s, he decided to become an adventurer, and subsequently set a whole bunch of records in skiing, mountain climbing, and flying.He set out for great conquests, and frequently achieved them. However, all I can ever remember about this guy is that, while trying to set some new distance record in a hot air balloon or something, he would inevitably need help from a rescue team because he ran out of fuel, blew off course, or, in the case of his Breitling Orbiter II flight in February 1998, was denied entry into Chinese airspace and thus risked an

For me, the Smashing Pumpkins are one of those bands, like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, that even at their worst I found interesting and compelling enough to listen to. I’m a big fan of their first three albums of course, but can also appreciate the their new directions on Adore and even MACHINA I and II. Since the announcement that they would be “reforming” for a new album and subsequent new tour I have been preparing myself for new Pumpkins music and have stated multiple times that I was looking forward to hearing new material from one of my all time favorite bands.
That new album was released on July 10th 2007, and I have been listening to it along with all of my other Pumpkins material from the major alums to the obscure b-sides, demos and covers trying to decide what exactly I wanted to say about this release; how I think it will be perceived by the fans, new and old; and what it means in terms of the rebirth of the Smashing Pumpkins in a society that last saw them

Story continued from earlier posts...I started doing well at stocks when I took a step back and took a breather.I realized that I was too impulsive and didn't follow good rules. I went back to the drawing board and vowed that I wouldn't put money into trading until I had successfully paper traded. As I have mentioned before, paper trading is NOTHING like the real thing because you take emotion out of the equation and emotion is EVERYTHING in trading. But I had to start somewhere.My dream is to be able to earn enough to support my family, invest in large scale real estate and maybe one day start a hedge fund. You have got to have goals. I want to leave a financial legacy that will go from generation to generation. I am a Dad and I have responsibilities, one of them is to leave a legacy for my kids. Notice I didn't say inheritance... it's deeper than that.Armed with the internet, books, magazines and a deep sense that I can succeed I started learning again. It is sad to say that I h

I realize this blog is about the Ruhnama but I also believe it should report news from Turkmenistan - especially news that may affect the ushering in of the Golden Age envisioned by Turkmenbashy. That said, I am sharing a recent article from the Chronicles of Turkmenistan, (the information wing of the "Turkmen Initiative for Human Rights", er, not exactly pro-Turkmenbashy) that reported on 31.5.2007:Turkmenabat: A statue of Turkmenbashi has been dismantledPortrait of the new President, Gurbanguly BerdymukhammedovPhoto: TIHR [Full text] - "Last year our correspondent counted over 500 portraits and statues in Turkmenabat (once known as Chardjou) which is the center of the Lebap's velayat. "Yet, the epoch of Turkmenbashi is over. The Beyik (Great) Turkmenbashi Statue near the astrakhan factory which is located in the outskirts of Turkmenabat has been already dismantled. Presently, numerous sculptures of S.Niyazov at more than 200 municipal organizations and establishments are waiting to

Click here to listen.There's much to offer our listeners in this week's episode of Golf for Beginners, from discussion involving the ever-astonishing Tiger Woods right down to knee-surgery, which is becoming more routine.Barry can now say that he has something in common with Tiger Woods, namely a repaired left knee. We explain how arthroscopic surgery (Barry had a partial "Meniscectomy"), although becoming more mainstream, is not as easy to recover from as doctors may claim. We also review the G-Clip 4-in-1 mini golf tool, an innovative product from Fine Tune golf. It's versatility on the course should make golfers more excited about fixing ball marks on the green as well as being "at the ready" to dispense a tee if ever a playing partner should be searching for one.One of our quick golf tips comes from Fine Tune Golf packed away with their compact golf tool. "How to repair a pitch mark on the green" is rarely done correctly so we offer up this suggestion hoping that our listeners w
