Blockchain 'beneficial but not yet transformative for public services'
Blockchain in its current form can provide benefits for public services but is not yet transformative or disruptive, according to a new report.
Blockchain for digital government, published by the ISA2 interoperability group in the European Commission, also proposes a framework of policy steps to exploit the potential, saying the priority is for the technology and ecosystem to become more mature.
The report is based on a series of case studies across European countries, looking at what activities can be supported by distributed ledger technology, the benefits for digital government, which ongoing services can be scaled up and what policy actions are needed.
It highlights three main functions within blockchain that can be useful in digital public services – notarisation, the provision of a shared database and workflow automation – saying the services that use the first are the most mature.
Among the other findings are that projects with a high level of maturity tend to be less complex with more centralised governance; that blockchain services already in place respond to clear business needs and have an active public sector actor and technology partner; and they are predominantly based on open source software.
In addition, blockchain is always just one layer of a more developed service that usually runs on top of a legacy-type database.
Security and efficiency
The report concludes that the main benefits for public services are increases in data security and efficiency gains, and that the technology can improve the reliability of record keeping.
In addition, blockchain has the scope to support new models for public service delivery and interactions as it can make data more consistent within an ecosystem of organisations: it can do a lot to support the principle of just needing to provide data once without repeated copying or resubmissions.
But there are barriers in the forms of legal and organisational frameworks, and the report's authors say that so far they have not seen blockchain used for any new business models in public services. The benefits that have become apparent so far are incremental.
They say there is a need for blockchain to become more mature and to build up its ecosystem, and it will only reach its full potential if tied to the transformation of processes and organisations.
Their proposed policy framework includes efforts to support knowledge sharing between EU member states; a focus on pilot projects; the definition of standards for security, privacy, governance and interoperability; the creation of blockchain foundational components to link and connect services; and the building of a dedicated infrastructure for important uses such as taxation and customs declarations.

Christians flee Syria's Kessab – Video

Christians flee Syria's Kessab – Video –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8y_WpbQMoc
The Syrian Army is trying to retake the Christian majority town of Kessab reportedly seized by al-Qaeda-linked forces. The attack made hundreds of ethnic Armenians flee and caused international outcry with Armenia blaming Turkey for supporting extremists.
Warring sides in Syria are facing off over Kessab, an ethnic Armenian hub on the Turkey-Syria border. The town was taken by Jabhat Al-Nusra, forcing hundreds of residents to flee and sparking international outcry.
Kessab – located in Syria's Latakia province, just miles away from Turkey – fell to rebels sparking a fierce battle in the media as conflicting reports are coming in about the events in the town which is home to over 2,000 ethnic Armenians.
On March 21, extremist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda reportedly crossed into Syria from Turkey and seized the town after clashes with Syrian government troops and local self-defense squads.
The Armenian govt called on the UN to protect Kessab, evoked the Armenian genocide, and accused Turkey of allowing Jihadists cross their border to attack Kessab. Ankara slammed the accusations and condemned the charge as 'confrontational political propaganda' .
Hundreds flee
Arman Saakyan, Armenian MP from the Republican Party has recently returned from the Syrian town of Latakia, where he managed to talk to Kessab refugees. He told RT that the armed groups got into Syria's Kessab from Turkish soil.
"In the early hours on Saturday [March 22] Turkish border guards disappeared and terrorists, representatives of different countries, attacked Kessab from there with the support of artillery," he said.
With the help of local self-defense forces and the Syrian army the majority of ethnic Armenians managed to flee Kessab and are currently resided on the territory of an Armenian church in the coastal city of Latakia, the parliament member said. Only some elderly people still remain in the town "occupied by militants from the al-Nusra [Front]," he added.
A group of residents found shelter in St. George's Armenian monastery in Latakia, about 60 km from Kessab, according to a stringer for RT video agency Ruptly.
"Everyone gathered and started going towards Al-Nabien to be safe. We along with the army and the national defense forces we saved as many as we could," Father Maron, a priest from the town told Ruptly. "40 more people remained in Kessab – mostly the old and immobile – but we managed to gather the majority and most of the families came to Latakia."
The residents of the town managed to escape in the very last moment before "their homes were attacked," Bugus Kazaryan, the chair of the Armenian Community Council in Latakia told RT. He said around 850 families from Kessab – "not only Armenians, but also residents of other nationalities" – have currently taken shelter in Latakia.
They fled the town in order to let the Syrian Army "destroy the terrorists who only came to Syria to kill, they've got no other goals," Kazaryan said.
"The bombardment started early morning. We struggled to save our son. We were laying on the ground because of the heavy bombing. We could take nothing from our home," Kessab resident Hrach Chegelian told RT.
"We took nothing with us. No clothes – we just left with what we were wearing at that moment," Siran Demirchian said.

In the UK most drivers associate hazardous driving conditions with wet weather and winter ice, but any conditions that affect your ability to drive as you normally would are in fact hazardous.
These include hot weather, high winds, heavy rain, fog, snow, and ice. Each presents its own difficulties, requiring the driver or rider to pay particular attention to vehicle safety. So here is our guide to driving in hazardous conditions, how to prepare for them, and how your vehicle insurance policy might be affected.
Motorcyclists are especially affected by high temperatures and sunlight. If you're taking your bike for a spin be sure to wear sunscreen, and take frequent breaks to keep hydrated.
Although car and motorhome drivers are less vulnerable to sunlight and heat, the summer time can take its toll on vehicles themselves. The softened road surface can get slippery if there is rain after a dry period, causing vehicles to lose grip.
Higher temperatures can exacerbate any existing damage your tyres may have, especially if they are under-inflated. Punctures and blow-outs may occur, so it's vital that your tyres are sufficiently inflated. Check the tyre walls for cracks, and consider fitting Tyron safety bands which will help you maintain control in the event of a blow-out. Insurance discounts are available for motorhome owners who fit Tyron safety bands. You might also consider fitting a TyrePal monitoring device, which alerts the driver to overheating tyres.
If the your vehicle's cooling system isn't working properly, it could run the risk of overheating — make sure the fan and coolant hoses work, and check the coolant level.
Strong winds can occur at any time of year. Motorcyclists are exposed, and therefore vulnerable to high winds. Motorhome owners should also exercise care, as high-sided vehicles are at risk of being blown off course. On the same note, car owners should also be wary of roof boxes, which can also catch in strong winds.
Because of the increased risk of being veered off course, having the right insurance all year round is very important. Avoid having to claim by giving other vehicles a wide berth in case you, or they, lose control.
You might want to avoid parking underneath any trees, or near anything which is likely to be affected by strong winds—a loose item or tree branch may damage your vehicle.
One of the most dangerous aspects of wet weather is how it reduces visibility. Also, with excess water on the roads, tyres find it difficult to grip the road effectively. This affects braking ability and increases the risk of sliding. Stopping distances double, so it's important to maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front, to reduce the chance of a collision (and thereby a claim).
Make sure that your tyres are properly inflated, and that they have sufficient tread. The legal limit is 1.6mm for cars and motorhomes, and 1mm for motorcycle: but consider changing them before the limit is reached.
Also, check that your windscreen wipers are working properly, and that there is plenty of liquid in the windscreen washer reservoir. Keeping a grime free screen is not only practical, but legally necessary. It is an offence not to be able to see properly out of your windscreen, so this could affect your insurance if you have an accident.
Fog seriously reduces visibility and can make driving extremely dangerous. In such conditions it is vital that you slow down and put your lights on, using rear and front fog lights if visibility is severely impaired. Maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front will reduce the risk of any bumps or knocks.
As with other kinds of adverse weather, motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in fog. If you know that it is likely to be foggy, wear a reflective jacket to make sure you're seen by other drivers.
You may always drive safely in fog , however some other drivers might not be as careful as you are. You might discover, for example, that a vehicle is too close in your rearview mirror. If so, it's important not to accelerate— there's always a risk of running into another car that wasn't previously visible.
If someone collides with you, make sure you contact Club Care Insurance as soon as possible. Also be sure to stop at the scene of the accident to exchange your contact and insurance details.
Snow and ice cause chaos on Britain's roads during winter. Visibility and grip are reduced, stopping distances increase tenfold, and braking is drastically impaired.
It's best not to drive in snow and ice at all, but if your journey is essential, completely clear your windows before setting off. Be sure to take some extra precautions with you on your journey, just in case you do get stranded. Items such as de-icer, extra clothing, food, a hot drink in a flask, and a shovel, will keep the chills away if you are unfortunate enough to breakdown.
Have you fitted winter tyres or snow chains? These provide better grip in snow and ice. If you're taking a winter trip to continental Europe, you could be legally obliged to have winter tyres fitted — so be sure to check the legal conditions of your holiday destination before setting off.
Whatever preparations you have made, make sure that you drive slowly and carefully, use your headlights, and stay as far back as possible from the vehicle in front.
There are some instances that, despite your best efforts, damage or accidents cannot be prevented. If you have a cracked windscreen because it has iced over, don't worry. Club Care provides unlimited windscreen cover for motorhomes and cars.
Finally, store your insurer's claims hotline number in your phone. Whatever hazardous conditions you encounter on the road, you can call for help whenever you need it.

Q: Can you create an input that changes? I am creating a quiz-like program and decided to define the 'while True' loop function (shown below) as a function. To do that, I need the input to change. However, I can't seem to do that no matter how many times I re-format the question. Here is the code:
def whiletrueloop():
    while True:
        choicenumber=input(choice)
        if choicenumber.lower() not in (options):
            print(repeatsentence)
        else:
            break

choice=("What is bigger, an elephant or a mouse?")
choicenumber=("choice1")
options=('elephant','mouse')
repeatsentence=("That isn't an answer!")
whiletrueloop()

if choicenumber=="elephant":
    print("Correct!")
elif choicenumber=="mouse":
    print("Wrong!")

A: I think the main problem with the code has to do with the scope of your choicenumber variable. You set it as a global variable with the line
choicenumber = ("choice1")

In the function, it is assigned locally to the input value, but it is the global scope variable that is used in the if-else decision at the end of the code. You can test this by inserting this option at the end of your code:
elif choicenumber == "choice1":
    print("Global!")

You'll always get "Global!" displayed, because the local value from the function is ignored in place of the global value.
There are a few ways around this. One is to declare the choicenumber variable as global inside the function:
while True:
    global choicenumber
    choicenumber=input(choice)

However, using global variables is considered bad practice, for reasons that you can look up.
An alternative is to use the function to return the value of choicenumber in response to the function call:
def whiletrueloop():
    while True:
        choicenumber=input(choice)
        if choicenumber.lower() not in (options):
            print(repeatsentence)
        else:
            return choicenumber

choice=("What is bigger, an elephant or a mouse?")
options=('elephant','mouse')
repeatsentence=("That isn't an answer!")

choicenumber = whiletrueloop()

if choicenumber=="elephant":
    print("Correct!")
elif choicenumber=="mouse":
    print("Wrong!")

It's been a minute since Tiësto released a solo tune. Actually, it's been seven years since he released one on his label Musical Freedom. That's a long time, and it seems the Dutch DJ had a lot pent-up energy. He absolutely explodes on his latest track. All you can say is "WOW."
Tiësto premiered the song at Ultra Music Festival in Miami and continued to drop it during headline sets at EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and more. It's a bombastic sonic attack specifically designed for festival fields. It's enough to make thousands people jump in unison, and at just under two-and-a-half-minutes, it's a real wam-bam.
Fans are still reeling from his last big collaboration "Jackie Chan" with Preme, Post Malone and Dzeko. Are you ready to blast f with "WOW" below?

No excuse for homophobia in football – Brighton boss Graham Potter
Brighton boss Graham Potter has condemned homophobia
Graham Potter says there is no excuse for homophobia in football ahead of Brighton's derby clash with bitter rivals Crystal Palace.
Premier League clubs last weekend backed Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people in sport.
But the initiative was marred by alleged incidents of homophobic abuse, including at Brighton's Amex Stadium where two visiting Wolves fans were ejected, arrested and later released pending investigation.
Seagulls boss Potter is braced for a hostile atmosphere at Selhurst Park on Monday evening but insists the rivalry between the two clubs does not justify supporters behaving in a discriminatory manner.
"Regardless of what type of game it is, it's unacceptable," Potter said of homophobia.
"If we want to do anything and if we want to change anything, football should be football for everybody, regardless of their ethnicity, their religious position or their sexuality.
"It's sad that we're even having the conversation.
"But you can see in many instances that that's the world we're in at the moment and football has to do its best to try and lead the way."
Brighton and Wolves each condemned last Sunday's alleged discrimination, with the clubs working in connection with Sussex Police following the incident.
It occurred on the same day Everton launched an investigation into reports of homophobic chanting aimed at Chelsea fans during last Saturday's match at Goodison Park.
"In an ideal world you wouldn't want that to happen or anything like that to be shouted," added Potter.
"You hope that people come and they understand that it's a game that both sets of supporters want to win badly, but it's in a respectful atmosphere."

Search of mother's family farm yields no results in Haleigh Cummings case
GLEN ST. MARY - In less than a month, missing Haleigh Cummings is due to be 6 years old.
And after almost five months of dead ends and false hope, her search was reinvigorated Friday morning.
About 40 officers from multiple law enforcement agencies converged on the Baker County home of Crystal Sheffield, the mother of the Satsuma girl who disappeared in February.
Capt. Dominic Piscitello of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said authorities scoured about 40 acres and searched two bodies of water in and around Sheffield's family farm in Glen St. Mary. The search wrapped up about 2 p.m. with no major developments.
He said family members told authorities they'd buried horses, cows and goats on the property, and investigators wanted to ensure there were no other clues.
"We searched just about everything and came up empty," Piscitello said.
Kim Picazio, a South Florida attorney who is representing Sheffield free, said her client's family requested the search a few weeks ago to dispel any lingering accusations against Haleigh's mother.
"It was a way to protect the family from any allegations of wrongdoing," Picazio said. "They wanted a proper search on their property to make it clear to the world that Haleigh isn't there."
A forensic archaeologist said all the bones excavated by backhoes and manpower were animal in origin. Piscitello said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement did a preliminary search of Sheffield's home the day Haleigh went missing, but this was the first full-scale investigation at the property.
Authorities from Putnam, Baker and Duval counties and the FDLE, clad in wide-brimmed hats and protective clothing, withstood the 90-degree heat and tall grass for about four hours. Members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office dive team and cadaver-sniffing dogs also were called in to assist.
Piscitello declined to comment if Sheffield and her family had advance notice of the search, but he said they signed a consent form allowing officers to come onto the property without a search warrant.
William "Cobra" Staubs, a South Florida bounty hunter and former associate of Picazio's who has helped in the hunt for Haleigh, said Sheffield was told June 19 about the upcoming search.
"They definitely knew about it ahead of time," he said.
This is the first large-scale operation in almost two months, authorities said.
Earlier this month, Sheffield closed the Haleighbug Center, a clearinghouse for tips not far from the Satsuma mobile home where Haleigh vanished while with her brother and father's teenage girlfriend. Because a medical issue involving seizures was keeping Sheffield from traveling to the Putnam County center from her home, the decision was made to close the building.
Investigators have been slogging through thousands of tips, and Piscitello said they haven't stopped looking for the kindergartner with the sandy brown hair.
"We'll leave no stone unturned," he said. "We haven't given up. Not for one second."

Mediation and arbitration are attractive alternatives to a court hearing for many divorcing couples in Florida.
People going through a divorce in Florida have many options when it comes to finding a resolution to the numerous issues that often arise. Mediation and arbitration are two popular options for handling the end of a marriage outside of the courtroom. As couples consider or prepare for a divorce, it may be helpful to understand the difference between these options in order to determine if they might be appropriate for their situation.
A mediator is a private party hired by the divorcing spouses to help them arrive at a solution they can both agree on. By remaining neutral, the mediator can assess what both parties want to get out of the divorce in terms of alimony, child support and the property division, and help them negotiate terms that everyone can live with. A mediation may last several sessions and both spouses may attend with their respective attorneys.
If the divorce is not likely to be acrimonious and there is a good chance the parties can come to an agreement peacefully, mediation may be a good option. Also, according to Forbes, mediation may be the more favorable way to go if there are children involved since the need for a battle in court will be eliminated. However, mediation can also be risky since if the mediation fails and no agreement can be reached, the case may end up having to be litigated anyway.
An arbitration is similar to a mediation, with the main difference being that a decision reached by arbitration is binding in court, according to Entrepreneur magazine. However, unlike a mediator who helps the parties come to an agreement, an arbitrator has the ultimate decision-making ability when deciding the outcome of the case and the decision is usually not appealable. For many people, however, this is still a favorable alternative to the time and expense of having a trial in court.
If either or both parties are worried about the details of their split becoming public knowledge, either mediation or arbitration may be an attractive option. Both types of proceedings are conducted with discretion and there is much less of a chance of any personal details coming to light.
When cases must be decided by the court, things may sometimes become contentious and matters people may want kept private could be aired out before the public and the press. This includes allegations of substance abuse, domestic violence or unbecoming behavior, and that can have a negative effect on a person's public standing. In addition, a record of the trial may be made available to the public.
Every divorce is different and people in Sarasota should choose the option that best suits their situation. They may find it beneficial to meet with an experienced attorney to discuss their case.

Father Flanagan founded Boys Town. Will he be recognized as a saint?
Father Edward Flanagan. | Boston Public Library via Flickr (CC BY 2.0).
By Kevin J. Jones
Omaha, Neb., Jun 23, 2015 / 15:58 pm
The case for the sainthood of Servant of God Edward Flanagan, the priest who founded Nebraska's famous Boys Town community for orphans and other boys, is now headed to Rome.
"More than being just a humanitarian, he was a man driven by his love for Jesus Christ to care for children who were forgotten and abused," said Omar Gutierrez of the Archdiocese of Omaha. "He is a great model for the priesthood and for what Catholic social teaching looks like in the real world."
Gutierrez, who served as notary for the diocesan tribunal investigating the priest's sainthood cause, said he was particularly struck by the stories of past Boys Town residents, now elderly men, who knew Father Flanagan.
"I have had World War II veterans weep in front of me as they recall what Fr. Flanagan did for them when they were just boys," he told CNA June 22.
"I have witnessed in a unique way the amazing power of fatherhood."
The Omaha archdiocese closed the diocesan phase of the investigation with a June 18 Mass at Omaha's St. Cecilia Cathedral, with Archbishop George Lucas as celebrant.
The final documents produced by the diocesan tribunal were signed and stamped. Two copies of the tribunal's report were packaged and sealed with wax, stamped with the archdiocesan seal. The apostolic nuncio will take the package to the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
The congregation can recommend whether Pope Francis should declare Fr. Flanagan to have demonstrated heroic virtue and to declare him "venerable," an important step on the path to beatification or canonization.
Father Flanagan helped at least 10,000 boys at Boys Town in his lifetime, and his influence extended around the world.
The priest was born in Ireland's County Roscommon July 13, 1886. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1904 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1912. He was assigned to what was then the Diocese of Omaha.
After working with homeless men in Omaha, he founded a boarding house for all boys, regardless of their race or religion. He soon moved his work to Overlook Farm on the outskirts of Omaha, where he cared for hundreds.
The home became known as the Village of Boys Town, growing to include a school, dormitories, and administration buildings. The boys elected their own government to run the community, which became an official village in the state of Nebraska in 1936.
Steven Wolf, president of the Father Flanagan League Society of Devotion and vice-postulator of his cause, said he thinks there is abundant evidence of the priest's heroic virtue.
"He completely immersed his life in the gospel, and lived it," Wolf told CNA. "He completely poured his life into saving these kids nobody else wanted to deal with."
Father Flanagan integrated young boys, "built a society around them, and put love, God's love, in the middle of their circumstances and helped them to become whole and complete people."
"He could see the face of Christ in every child, and he wanted to help every child, not just be successful citizens, but also be saints."
Wolf added, "We need people to look into this man's life, look into this man's motivation, and look at his example and live that example. Pray that we can make our culture a better place through the way that he lived the gospel in his life."
Gutierrez and Wolf could not speak about the tribunal findings, which are confidential. However, they noted that Archbishop Lucas alluded to its conclusions in his June 18 homily.
"You can imagine that we wouldn't go through all this trouble to collect this information and send it to the Holy See if it wasn't very good," the archbishop said.
Father Flanagan's work inspired 80 other Boys Towns around the world. The original Boys Town now serves about 80,000 kids and families each year.
After World War II, the priest helped care for orphans and displaced children in war-ravaged Japan, Germany, and Austria at the request of US president Harry Truman. According to Wolf, Japan's juvenile system was founded on a report by Father Flanagan.
He noted that the priest broke with the segregationist practices of his time, serving all boys regardless of their race and religion.
After Boys Town moved from Omaha, the local branch of the Ku Klux Klan threatened to burn Boys Town to the ground because of it care for black children and Jews, Wolf said.
Father Flanagan's response to racist criticism was to ask what color a person's soul was.
Critics of his integrationist policy also included Catholic and Protestant clergy, as well as judges. Although the priest's organization was always in debt, he turned down a wealthy Californian's offer of $ 1 million if he turned Boys Town into a Catholic-only group.
"He was decades ahead of the civil rights movement in the US in what he was doing," Wolf said.
Flanagan also worked to reform the criminal justice system's treatment of minor offenders.
One of the priest's famous phrases was "There are no bad boys. There is only bad environment, bad training, bad example, bad thinking."
The priest rose to national and international prominence for his work. Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his portrayal of Fr. Flanagan in the 1938 movie "Boys Town." The actor later donated the trophy to the priest.
Father Flanagan died of a heart attack in Berlin on May 15, 1948. His remains are interred in a memorial chapel at Boys Town. He was declared a Servant of God in March 2013.
The findings of the Archdiocese of Omaha's tribunal will be the basis for the postulator's argument before the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. If the congregation approves, Father Flanagan will be declared Venerable. If a miracle attributed to his intercession is recognized, he will be beatified, and if a second miracle, he will be canonized.
Gutierrez said that two alleged miracles attributed to the priest are being investigated now.
He added that supporters of Father Flanagan's cause can help through their prayers and through their support for the expenses of its advocates. The Father Flanagan League Society of Devotion is the main advocate for the priest's canonization cause.
Among the people of Omaha, Father Flanagan's reputation endures.
"They remember him with an intimate fondness and with a surety that he will be made a saint someday," said Gutierrez.
Go Big Red,
Archdiocese of Omaha

One in every 35 employees was apprehended for theft from their employer in 2017, according to the 30th Annual Retail Theft Survey, down from 27 in 2016. 40,286 dishonest employees were apprehended in 2017, down four percent from 2016.
While these are improvements from the previous year, employee theft continues to be a serious problem.
Employee dishonesty is the most important crime coverage for most businesses. Most basic business package policies do not include crime coverage beyond a baseline amount, so unless you already have employee dishonesty coverage, you will need to add it to your basic policy.
When adding commercial crime coverage to your package, you typically get a limit of at least $10,000 for "loss of and direct loss from damage to money, securities and property other than money and securities resulting directly from employee dishonesty." You will also usually get a $10,000 limit for "theft, including disappearance or destruction, of money and securities," with separate $10,000 limits applying to loss inside or outside the premises. Most policies also provide up to $10,000 in forgery coverage.
While insurance for employee dishonesty helps you recover from losses, employers need to implement sound risk management practices to prevent or at least control employee dishonesty.
With a good system of internal controls, you can reduce or eliminate opportunities for employee dishonesty in the first place.
In states where obtaining credit reports as well as criminal reports, workers' comp records and other background information is legal, the federal Fair Credit Report Act (FCRA) requires employers to obtain the candidate's written consent. You must also let them know you may reject their application on the basis of what's in the report and you must provide notice once your decision is made, sending an "adverse action notice," if necessary.
Be sure to include inventory audits, which are high theft targets.
There is a general perception that "theft and abuse in companies" are "isolated acts that cost an organization little," according to Jack L. Hayes International, authors of the 30th Annual Retail Theft Survey. Many people also think "most employees are caught stealing inexpensive items such as 'pens, pencils and paper-clips' from their employers." This is not true. $38,941,012 was stolen and recovered from dishonest employees in 2016, the total amount stolen is unknown.
A lot of people think embezzlement is one big score and it's over with," says Doug Karpp, crime and fidelity product head at Hiscox, an insurance company. But that's not always the case. Some cases involved the theft of small amounts of money over many years, he said.
Those small amounts can really add up. The average loss for cases that continued for five years or more was $2.2 million, and for cases lasting 10 years or more the loss was $5.4 million.

South Asian security is at a crossroads. On the one hand, the United States made great strides in getting embedded in the region on a long-term footing. South Asia must figure as a rare exception in the George W Bush era's dismal foreign policy legacy. On other hand, the big pawn on the South Asian chessboard, India, is heading for parliamentary elections. Almost certainly, a new government with new thinking will assume office in Delhi by May. US-India ties will also come under scrutiny.
KARACHI - Two major events are likely to mark the beginning of 2009 and decide the new rules of war and peace in the region. In Pakistan, the foremost is curtailing the powerful military dominated intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and the second is the unveiling of a new strategy in Afghanistan.
These two steps have emerged after months of high-level consultations between all the regional players, including the Afghan, Pakistani and Indian political leadership and the Western military establishment. American military officials have gone the extra mile to set up an incentive package to make these plans successful.
The process of clipping the wings of the ISI, elements of which have sympathies with the Taliban in Afghanistan and militants, could not take place during the rule of former president General Pervez Musharraf, who was succeeded by a civilian government early in the year after nine years of rule.
Moves were made to place the ISI under the civilian authority of the Ministry of Interior, but these were blocked by the military. Still, a few weeks ago the ISI's political cell was shut down, a development announced by Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani.
The next move is to appoint a civilian as director general of the ISI with the aim of eventually reducing the agency to an intelligence wing of the Ministry of Interior, from the grand secret service it was that earned international fame during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s in support of the mujahideen resistance.

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — "Sometimes," says John Edwards, "people need a breather." He is not talking about himself, although surely he needed one after his brief rocket ride through the upper atmosphere of national politics. That ride ended — or perhaps paused — when the Kerry-Edwards ticket lost. The people who Edwards thinks really need a breather from presidential candidates are the voters.
But Edwards is roaming around, with 2008 in mind. His travels to more than 30 states have been organized around his interest in poverty. His Senate term ended nine weeks after the election, and he went to earth here. While his wife, Elizabeth, continues to recover from breast cancer, he is directing the new Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina.
Most Americans seem to regard as the only searing economic injustice the violation of their constitutional right — surely it is in the Bill of Rights — to cheap gasoline. But Edwards believes attacking poverty can be politically energizing if, by stressing "work, responsibility, family," the attack "is built around a value system the nation embraces."
In a speech shortly after Hurricane Katrina, he rightly stressed the correlation of family disintegration — especially out-of-wedlock births — with many social pathologies associated with poverty. He said, "It is wrong when all Americans see this happening and do nothing to stop it."
But no one knows how to stop it. Anyway, spending at least $6.6 trillion on poverty-related programs in the four decades since President Johnson declared the "war on poverty" is not "nothing." In fact, it has purchased a new paradigm of poverty.
Edwards has a 1930s paradigm of poverty: Poor people are like everyone else; they just lack goods and services (housing, transportation, training, etc.) that government knows how to deliver. Hence he calls for a higher minimum wage and job-creation programs. And because no Democrat with national ambitions will dare to offend teachers unions, he rejects school choice vouchers and says this: "Give working parents who are poor housing vouchers so they have a chance to move into neighborhoods with better schools."
But the 1930s paradigm of poverty was alive in 1968 when the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, created in response to urban riots, thought this would be an imaginative cure: government creation of 2 million jobs. This at a moment when the unemployment rate was 3.7 percent.
The 1930s paradigm has been refuted by four decades of experience. The new paradigm is of behavior-driven poverty that results from individuals' nonmaterial deficits. It results from a scarcity of certain habits and mores — punctuality, hygiene, industriousness, deferral of gratification, etc. — that are not developed in disorganized homes.
In 2000, just his second year in the Senate — his second year in public life — Edwards was on the short list of finalists to be Al Gore's running mate. Edwards's appetite was whetted, and he began the peripatetic scurrying around that preceded his run for the 2004 presidential nomination. He lost, but he was the last man standing against John Kerry, and he can torment himself with plausible thoughts about how, with this or that tactical move, he could have won the Iowa caucuses — he finished second, with 31.9 percent of delegate strength to Kerry's 37.6 percent — and the nomination.
When Democrats wonder what red states Hillary Clinton could turn blue in 2008, the wondering does not help Edwards, whose presence on the 2004 ticket did not sway his own state: In 2000 Bush beat Gore-Lieberman in North Carolina 56-43. In 2004 Bush beat Kerry-Edwards here 56-44. And Democrats know that Gore might now be in his second term if he had carried his home state.
Edwards says that one lesson of 2004 is that presidential elections "are not issue-driven"; rather, they are character-driven and voters see issues as reflections of character. The issues "show people who you are." Perhaps.
But the idea that the candidate's persona is primary and that issues are secondary is a mistake made by some Democrats who yearn for another John Kennedy. He was a talented but quite traditional politician whom many Democrats wrongly remember as proving that charisma trumps substantive politics. Edwards, who has been called Kennedyesque, has a stake in that yearning.
